We note as an initial matter that claim 1 is directed to a “method of collecting traffic data” (Br. (Claims App’x) 18) (a “process” (35 U.S.C. § 101)) and that the argued limitation is a conditional step that is only performed “when the location reference code has changed,” which need not happen. According to our precedent, as a matter of claim construction, the broadest reasonable interpretation of claim 1 encompasses a method in which the argued limitation is not performed. See Ex parte Schulhauser, Appeal No. 2013-007847, 2016 WL 6277792, at *3-5 (PTAB Apr. 28, 2016) (precedential).

Independent claims 16 and 17 recite limitations similar to the argued limitation of claim 1 and are argued similarly to claim 1. Compare Br. 9—18, with Br. 6—9. Unlike claim 1, however, claims 16 and 17 are directed to a “navigation system used in a vehicle” (Br. (Claims App’x) 20) and a “probe  vehicle for collecting traffic data” (id. at 21) respectively, placing them in a different statutory class from claim 1, i.e., a “machine” or system rather than a “process” or method under 35 U.S.C. § 101. The broadest reasonable interpretation of such machine claims requires that structure and logic be provided to perform all recited functions, even those that are conditional. See Schulhauser, 2016 WL 6277792, at *6—7.

In reaching this conclusion, we acknowledge that claim 1 recites conditional limitations. That is, not only does claim 1 recite that if the component requests a DMA channel, the DMA subsystem determines whether the request is a public or secure access, both “wherein” clauses of claim 1 also contain conditional limitations, namely allowing particular DMA channel configurations if the request is a secure access and public access, respectively. Notably, these conditions need not be satisfied to meet a method claim reciting these conditions. See Ex parte Schulhauser, No. 2013-007847, slip op. at 9-10 (PTAB Apr. 28, 2016) (precedential). But here, these limitations are recited as part of system claim 1 and, as such, the claim requires structure for performing the functions should the conditions occur. Id. at 14—15. As explained previously, the Examiner fails to show this structure and, therefore, the rejection is deficient for that reason alone.

Before we consider the teachings of Jagannathan and Trandal, however, we first address the issue of claim scope in light of this Board’s recent precedential decision in Ex Parte Schulhauser, Appeal No. 2013-007848 (PTAB April 28, 2016) (“Schulhauser”). In Schulhauser, the Board held, when construing a method claim according to its broadest reasonable interpretation, conditional steps in process claims need not be carried out to be within the scope of the claim.
