However, a claim is not made unclear simply because an upper boundary is not specified. See Exxon Research & Engineering Co. v. U.S., 265 F.3d 1371, 1382 (Fed. Cir. 2001), abrogated on other grounds  by Nautilus, Inc. v. Biosig Instruments, Inc., 134 S. Ct. 2120 (2014). In Exxon Research, the Federal Circuit held that claims reciting a minimum particle size, but no maximum particle size, did not result in any indefiniteness as to the recitation because the claim scope, albeit broad, was nonetheless clear. See id.
