While the scope of claim 1 may be broad enough to encompass an embodiment in which the oil level is below the top of the metal plate, that possibility does not render the claim itself inoperable. See Atlas Powder Co. v. E.I. du Pont de Nemours & Co., 750 F.2d 1569, 1576 (Fed. Cir. 1984) (“Even if some of the claimed combinations were inoperative, the claims are not necessarily invalid. It is not a function of the claims to specifically exclude possible inoperative substances.” (internal quotation marks and alterations omitted)). ...

Therefore, one of ordinary skill in the art likely would not have interpreted the claim to encompass that embodiment. See AIA Eng’g Ltd. V. Magotteaux Int’l S/A, 657 F.3d 1264, 1278 (Fed. Cir. 2011)(“a construction that renders the claimed invention inoperable should be viewed with extreme skepticism”).
