"A statutory disclaimer under 35 U.S.C. § 253 has the effect of canceling the claims from the patent and the patent is viewed as though the disclaimed claims had never existed in the patent." Guinn v. Kopf, 96 F.3d 1419, 1422 (Fed. Cir. 1996), citing Altoona Publix Theatres, Inc. v. American Tri-Ergon Corp., 294 U.S. 477, 492 (1935) (claims withdrawn from patent protection upon filing of statutory disclaimers). Under this precedent, claim 1 of the '851 patent is to be treated as though it never existed in the patent. Therefore, regardless of the status of the reissue application, the obviousness-type double patenting rejections founded on that claim are in error, and are not sustained.

Further, because “each claim must be considered as defining a separate invention,” Jones v. Hardy, 727 F.2d 1524, 1528 (Fed. Cir. 1984), we find it entirely within the parameters of proper patent examination for the Examiner to tailor his application of the prior art to the specific language of each independent claim. See also Pall Corp. v. Micron Separations, Inc., 66 F.3d 1211, 1220 (Fed. Cir. 1995) (“each claim is a separate statement of the patented invention”); Altoona Publix Theatres, Inc. v. Am. Tri—Ergon Corp., 294 U.S. 477, 487 (1935) (“each claim must stand or fall, as itself sufficiently defining invention, independently of the others”).
