Product-by-process claims are generally not limited by the process used to make the product.  In re Thorpe, 777 F.2d 695, 698 (Fed. Cir. 1985).  However, the structure implied by the process steps should be considered when assessing the patentability of product-by-process claims over the prior art where the manufacturing process steps would be expected to impart distinctive structural characteristics to the final product.  See, e.g., In re Garnero, 412 F.2d 276, 279 (CCPA 1969).
