We do not find this argument persuasive because claim 15 is drawn to an apparatus, not a method for forming a substrate, and because claim 15 does not require a “uniform” material as in claim 1. “In determining validity of a product-by-process claim, the focus is on the product and not the process of making it.” Amgen Inc. v. F. Hoffman-La Roche Ltd., 580 F.3d 1340, 1369 (Fed.Cir. 2009). The process of making is only relevant “if the process by which a product is made imparts ‘structural and functional differences’ distinguishing the claimed product from the prior art” Greenliant Systems, Inc. v. Xicor LLC, 692 F.3d 1261, 1268 (Fed. Cir.2012).

Here, Appellants do not identify any structural or functional differences that result from the process of injection molding relative to the microfluidic device with microchannels rendered obvious by Huang and Sibarani (FF 5—10).

Appellant asserts that Brander is a monolithic structure and argues  that this claim limitation requires that the mounting enclosure be formed  from a plurality of pieces (id.). However, we agree with the Examiner that  as a product claim, even as a product-by-process claim, the structure is not limited by the method of manufacture (Ans. 8). See Greenliant Sys., Inc. v.  Xicor LLC, 692 F.3d 1261, 1268 (Fed. Cir. 2012) ("'[i]n determining  validity of a product-by-process claim, the focus is on the product and not the process of making it."). Further, nothing in the claim language, or Specification, limits the meaning of "portions" to pre-assembly portions.

Our reviewing court, however, has held that “[i]n reexamination, ‘claims . . . are to be given their broadest reasonable interpretation consistent with the specification, and . . . claim language should be read in light of the specification as it would be interpreted by one of ordinary skill in the art.’” In re NTP, Inc., 654 F.3d 1268, 1274 (Fed. Cir. 2011), quoting In re American Academy of Science Tech Center, 367 F.3d 1359, 1364 (Fed. Cir. 2004); see also In re Baxter Intern., Inc., 678 F.3d 1357, 1365 (Fed. Cir. 2012) (holding that because District Court proceedings and reexamination proceedings in the PTO apply different burdens of proof and rely on different records, the PTO did not err by failing to provide a detailed explanation as to why the PTO came to a different determination than did the court system). We will follow the Federal Circuit’s holding.
