“We do not charge a person of ordinary skill in the art to know all arts; rather, we presume he knows the teachings of all the prior art in the field of his endeavor at the time the invention was made.” Netflix, Inc. v. DivX, LLC, 80 F.4th 1352, 1358 (Fed. Cir. 2023) (internal quotation marks omitted). “[T]he purpose of the analogous art test . . . is to examine whether a reference can be considered as prior art to the challenged patent [or application] in the first place.” Sanofi-Aventis Deutschland GmbH v. Mylan Pharms. Inc., 66 F.4th 1373, 1377 (Fed. Cir. 2023).

“Thus, for an obviousness determination, a reference may only qualify as prior art that a person of ordinary skill in the art would look to if it is ‘analogous to the claimed invention.’” Netflix, 80 F.4th at 1358 (quoting In re Bigio, 381 F.3d 1320, 1325 (Fed. Cir. 2004)). “This inquiry ‘is meant to defend against hindsight.’” Id. (quoting In re Kahn, 441 F.3d 977, 987 (Fed. Cir. 2006)).

Two separate tests define the scope of analogous prior art: (1) whether the art is from the same field of endeavor, regardless of the problem addressed and, (2) if the reference is not within the field of the inventor’s endeavor, whether the reference still is reasonably pertinent to the particular problem with which the inventor is involved. Bigio, 381 F.3d at 1325.

Claim 1 recites “[a] multi-stage voltage-to-delay converter for converting input signals into delay signals.” Appeal Br. 9. Claim 1 also recites “wherein timing of the intermediate output signals corresponds to voltages of the input signals” and “wherein timing of the rail-to-rail output signals corresponds to the timing of the intermediate output signals.” Id. The Examiner has not sufficiently explained why the preamble is not necessary to give meaning to these further recitations in claim 1, which relate to the timing of the signals. Pitney Bowes, Inc. v. Hewlett-Packard Co., 182 F.3d 1298, 1305 (Fed. Cir. 1999) (“If the claim preamble, when read in the context of the entire claim, recites limitations of the claim, or, if the claim preamble is ‘necessary to give life, meaning, and vitality’ to the claim, then the claim preamble should be construed as if in the balance of the claim.”).

After reviewing the Specification, we agree with Appellant that a person having ordinary skill in the art would understand that the phrase “optionally a sensitizing ion” means that a sensitizing ion—i.e., an ion that absorbs incident energy and transfers it to one or both of the emitting ion(s)—may or may not be present in any of the first, second, or third taggants recited in the claim. See Appeal Br. 11–12.

In the Examiner’s Answer, the Examiner correctly points out that this interpretation means that the claim has the same scope it would have had if the phrase were omitted entirely.7 Answer 3. Nonetheless, the Examiner maintains the rejection, citing the canon of construction against surplusage. Id. The Examiner states that “correct[ion of] this issue during prosecution ensures that the claim, if and when it issues, may be properly construed by practitioners and courts in the future.” Id.

Although we appreciate the Examiner’s desire to have claims that will be correctly construed when and if a patent issues, we cannot affirm the indefiniteness rejection to prevent a violation of the canon against surplusage. As the Supreme Court has explained in the context of statutory interpretation, “canons [of interpretation] are not mandatory rules. They are guides that need not be conclusive.” Chickasaw Nation v. United States, 534 U.S. 84, 94 (2001) (internal quote marks omitted). Here, even though the proper interpretation of the phrase “optionally a sensitizing ion” means that the phrase does not change the scope of the independent claims, its interpretation would be clear to a person having ordinary skill in the art.
