“Incorporation into the claims by express reference to the specification and/or drawings is not permitted except in very limited circumstances.” Fressola, 27 USPQ2d at 1609. Such incorporation is permitted, however, “where there is no practical way to define the invention in words and where it is more concise to incorporate by reference then duplicating a drawing or table into the claim.” Id.

The Specification must contain some guideposts, akin to “blaze marks” on trees that mark a trail that would establish the claimed invention “as something appellants actually invented.” In re Ruschig, 379 F.2d 990, 995 (CCPA 1967).

Mere reference to a specific figure does not render the claim an omnibus-type claim, nor indefinite, as the Examiner suggests. Ans. 5. Compare Ex parte Fressola, 27 USPQ2d 1608 (BPAI 1993) (affirming a rejection under 35 U.S.C. § 112, second paragraph of a claim reciting a system “as disclosed in the specification and drawings herein”) with Ex parte Squires, 133 USPQ 598 (BPAI 1961) (reversing a rejection under 35 U.S.C. § 112, second paragraph of a claim reciting a font “as shown in Fig. 1”).
