Therefore, the Examiner did not consider all of claim 14’s limitations in making out the ground of rejection under §103(a). See, e.g., In re Geerdes, 491 F.2d 1260, 1262-63 (CCPA 1974) (in considering grounds of rejection “every limitation in the claim must be given effect rather than considering one in isolation from the others”)

“Before considering the rejections . . ., we must first [determine the scope of] the claims . . . .”  In re Geerdes, 491 F.2d 1260, 1262 (CCPA 1974).  We, therefore, first endeavor to determine what it means to “establish[] a plurality of categories each associated with a unique minimum bandwidth threshold,” as recited in independent claims 1 and 19.

The claim term “category” never appeared in the originally filed Specification, and Appellants’ Specification contains no disclosure of affirmatively establishing categories.  See Spec. (as filed Feb. 24, 2010).   The term was added to by way of claim amendment.  See Amendment and Response Under 37 C.F.R. § 1.111 (filed Mar. 16, 2015).  Appellants instead rely on Figures 2–4 of the Specification for support of the claimed act of establishing a plurality of categories.  See App. Br. 4–5, 9–10, and 12.  As will be explained below, however, the Specification’s disclosure associated with these figures does not support the narrow interpretation of establishing categories that Appellants urge.
