When “determining if the steps of a method claim that do not otherwise recite an order, must nonetheless be performed in the order in which they are written ... [f]irst, we look to the claim language to determine if, as a matter of logic or grammar, they must be performed in the order written.” Altiris, Inc. v. Symantec Corp., 318 F.3d 1363, 1369 (Fed. Cir. 2003) (citing Interactive Gift Express, Inc. v. Compuserve Inc., 256 F.3d 1323, 1343 (Fed. Cir. 2001)). Here, in each of the independent claims, “each step of the method provides an antecedent basis for the steps that follow.” Hytera Commc'ns Co. v. Motorola Sols., Inc., 841 F. App’x 210, 218 (Fed. Cir. 2021).
