 The definiteness requirement “strikes a ‘delicate balance’ between ‘the inherent limitations of language’ and providing ‘clear notice of what is claimed.’” Sonix Tech. Co. v. Publ’nsInt’l, Ltd., 844 F.3d 1370, 1377 (Fed. Cir. 2017) (quoting Nautilus, Inc. v.Biosig Instruments, Inc., 572 U.S. 898, 909 (2014)). Due to the need for “particular[ity]” and “distinct[ness],” claim language that “is ambiguous, vague, incoherent, opaque, or otherwise unclear in describing and defining the claimed invention” warrants a rejection under § 112(b). In re Packard, 751 F.3d 1307, 1311, 1313 (Fed. Cir. 2014)

 The Federal Circuit has “rejected the proposition that claims involving terms of degree are inherently indefinite.”  Sonix Tech. Co. v. Publ’ns Int’l, Ltd., 844 F.3d 1370, 1377 (Fed. Cir. 2017).  We note that the Specification not only exemplifies pH 11 for washing (Spec. ¶ 82), but also discloses elution at pH 10 (Spec. ¶ 19) and elution at “elevated pH” (Spec. ¶ 65).  Thus, the term “about” in context of the pH would provide reasonably certainty limiting the pH to elevated pH values that function in either the washing or the eluting of the aptameric complex.

The specification may support claimed terminology for purposes of 35 U.S.C. § 112, second paragraph by providing examples of what is meant by the claimed term. Sonix Technology Co., Ltd. v. Publications Int 'l, Ltd., 844 F.3d 1370, 1379 (Fed. Cir. 2017). ...

Reviewing paragraph 57 of the Specification, we find several examples of what is meant by the claimed "aspects of the conversation" set forth there. Such examples include "providing too much information," "asking unusual questions," and "business offers." We find these examples in paragraph 57 render the claimed limitation definite. Accordingly, we do not sustain the Examiner's rejection on this basis.

“Thus, a patentee need not define his invention with mathematical precision in order to comply with the definiteness requirement.” Sonix Tech. Co. v. Publ’ns Int’l, Ltd., 844 F.3d 1370, 1377 (Fed. Cir. 2017) (quotation omitted). ...


The Specification states “a triangular-like shape is a triangle whose vertices are replaced with curved corners.” Spec. par. 38. We determine Appellant has defined explicitly the term “triangular-like shape.” “When a patentee defines a claim term, the patentee’s definition governs, even if it is contrary to the conventional meaning of the term.” Honeywell Int'l, Inc. v. Universal Avionics Sys. Corp., 493 F.3d 1358, 1361 (Fed. Cir. 2007). Even assuming Figures 3 and 7 depicted a triangle with one vertex replaced by a curved comer, we agree with Appellant that the other two vertices are “sharp or pointed and not curved.”
