 Dippin’ Dots, Inc. v. Mosey, 476 F.3d 1337, 1343 (Fed. Cir. 2007) (“‘[c]omprising’ is not a weasel word with which to abrogate claim limitations [quoting Spectrum Int’l, Inc. v. Sterilite Corp., 164 F.3d 1372, 1380 (Fed. Cir. 1988)] . . . Those six enumerated steps must, however, all be practiced as recited in the claim for a process to infringe.”).  Both Dippin’ Dots and Spectrum are precedential opinions of the Federal Circuit, and although they rule on patented claims rather than claims in an application, the Examiner has not come forward with a credible explanation why the holdings are not precedential with respect to claims on appeal during examination.
