The Examiner’s rejection, however, has not overcome the presumption that “means plus function” analysis does not apply here. In addition, the record, which includes the claim language and Appellant’s disclosure, does not support the Examiner’s findings or conclusion that § 112(f) should apply to the disputed terms.
When analyzing whether the presumption against applying § 112(f) is overcome, we consider how a claim limitation is “used in the context of the relevant claim language.” Advanced Ground Info. Sys., Inc. v. Life360, Inc., 830 F.3d 1341, 1348 (Fed. Cir. 2016). Further, “[i]n undertaking this analysis, we ask if the claim language, read in light of the specification, recites sufficiently definite structure,” which avoids application of § 112(f). Media Rights Techs., Inc. v. Capital One Fin. Corp., 800 F.3d 1366, 1372–73 (Fed. Cir. 2015) (analyzing specification to determine if term was described in specific structural terms).
