“Where a claim lists elements separately, ‘the clear implication of the claim language’ is that those elements are ‘distinct component[s]’ of the patented invention.” Becton, Dickinson & Co. v. Tyco Healthcare Grp., LP, 616 F.3d 1249, 1254 (Fed. Cir. 2010) (citing Gaus v. Conair Corp., 363 F.3d 1284, 1288 (Fed. Cir. 2004)); Engel Indus., Inc. v. Lockformer Co., 96 F.3d 1398, 1404–05 (Fed. Cir. 1996) (concluding that where a claim provides for two separate elements, a “second portion” and a “return portion,” these two elements “logically cannot be one and the same”). “When a claim requires two separate elements, one element construed as having two separate functions will not suffice to meet the terms of the claim.” Ex parte Koutsky, Appeal No. 2008-0557, 2008 WL 4359775 at *2 (BPAI Sept. 23, 2008) (citing Lantech Inc. v.

It is well settled that where, as here, a claim requires two separate elements, one element construed as having two separate functions will not suffice to meet the claim’s terms. See Lantech, Inc. v. Keip Mach. Co., 32 F.3d 542, 547 (Fed. Cir. 1994); see also In re Robertson, 169 F.3d 743, 745 (Fed. Cir. 1999) (claims requiring three separate means not anticipated by structure containing only two means using one element twice).
