Appellant contends that in this case the preamble should be treated like a claim limitation because the phrase “to a patient in need thereof” would otherwise not have proper antecedent basis in the body of the claim. See Appeal Br. 8 (citing Jansen v. Rexall Sundown, 342 F.3d 1329, 1333-34 (Fed. Cir. 2003); Rapoport v. Dement, 254 F.3d 1053, 1060-61 (Fed. Cir. 2001)). Our reviewing court in both Rapoport and Jansen considering similarly structured claims determined that these claims should be interpreted to require that the method be practiced with the “intent to achieve the objective stated in the preamble.” Jansen, 342 F.3d 1333. “The preamble is therefore not merely a statement of effect that may or may not be desired or appreciated. Rather, it is a statement of the intentional purpose for which the method must be performed.” Id.

See In re Paulsen, 30 F.3d 1475, 1480 (Fed. Cir. 1994) (an inventor must define specific terms with “reasonable clarity, deliberateness, and precision” in order to be his own lexicographer, as opposed to merely describing “in a general fashion certain features”).

3900 Central Reexamination Unit (CRU)
1621 Ex parte BAYER CROPSCIENCE, LP Appellant 90/008,317 5,700,460 LEBOVITZ 102(b) FOR PATENT OWNER: BAKER, DONELSON, BEARMAN, CALDWELL & BERKOWITZ, P.C. FOR THIRD-PARTY REQUESTER: JEFFREY S. MELCHER MANELLI, DENISON & SELTER, PLLC EXAMINER KUNZ, GARY L BUCHANAN, INGERSOLL & ROONEY PC original EXAMINER BURN, BRIAN M

Appellant contends that Jansen v. Rexall Sundown, Inc., 342 F.3d 1329 (Fed. Cir. 2003) demands a different result (Reply Brief (“Reply Br.”) 8, dated January 21, 2011).

The preambles “for attracting insects” and “for attracting and killing insects” set forth the objective of the method, and the body of each claim directs that the method be performed on “said insects.” The recitation of “said insects” In [sic] both claims 1 and 15 gives life and meaning to the preambles' statement of purpose.

In Jansen, the claims were directed to methods of treating or preventing macrocytic-megaloblastic anemia comprising administering effective amounts of folic acid and vitamin B12 “to a human in need thereof.” Jansen at 1333. The Federal Circuit stated that the claim must be interpreted to require the method be practiced with the intent to achieve the objective stated in the preamble. Id. “The preamble is therefore not merely a statement of effect that may or may not be desired or appreciated. Rather, it is a statement of the intentional purpose for which the method must be performed.” Id.

The reason why Jansen does not require a different result has already been addressed in Ex parte Batteux, Appeal No. 2007-0622, 2007 WL 5211675 (BPAI, Mar. 27, 2007, Informative Opinion).

Jansen was an infringement case, requiring the court to construe the subject claim “so as to sustain [its] validity, if possible.” Whittaker Corp. v. UNR Indus., 911 F.2d 709,712, 15 USPQ2d 1742, 1743 (Fed. Cir. 1990) (citing ACS Hosp. Sys., Inc. v. Montefiore Hosp., 732 F.2d 1572, 1577, 221 USPQ 929, 932 (Fed. Cir. 1984). In contrast, during prosecution, a claim must be given its broadest reasonable interpretation. Unlike the case here, in Jansen, the patentee was arguing a broad construction to establish infringement. 342 F.3d at 1331, 68 USPQ2d at 1156. However, the court “strictly construed” the claim against the inventor, in view of statements made during prosecution. Id. at 1334, 68 USPQ2d at 1158.
