The claims, however, do provide guidance as to the meaning of "storage device." In particular, claim 15 depends from claim 14 and further recites "the storage device is not a signal." Claim differentiation therefore suggests that claim 14 lacks the "not a signal" limitation of dependent claim 15 (i.e., that claim 14 includes a signal). See Curtiss-Wright Flow Control Corp. v. Velan, Inc., 438 F.3d 1374, 1380 (Fed. Cir. 2006).
"While we recognize that the doctrine of claim differentiation is not a hard and fast rule of construction, it does create a presumption that each claim in a patent has a different scope." Comark Commc 'ns, Inc. v. Harris Corp., 156 F.3d 1182, 1187 (Fed. Cir. 1998).
