Appellant contendsthat even though the upper end of the claimed
range is open-ended, the Federal Circuit has held that this is not inherently
improper, and that such a claim limitation may be supported (Appeal Br. 8, 9
(discussing Anderson Corp. v. Fiber Composites, LLC, 474 F.3d 1361 (Fed.
Cir. 2007))). As stated in Anderson,
As we have said, “[o]pen-ended claims are not inherently
improper, as for all claims their appropriateness depends on the
particular facts of the invention, the disclosure, and the prior art.
They may be supported if there is an inherent, albeit not precisely
known, upper limit and the specification enables one of skill in
the art to approach that limit.”
