We agree with Appellant. The Examiner’s interpretation of “security
tag” as equivalent to a firewall rule is unreasonably broad. “Different claim
terms are presumed to have different meanings.” SimpleAir, Inc. v. SonyEricsson Mobile Comm’s AB, 820 F.3d 419, 431 (Fed. Cir. 2016) (quoting
Bd. of Regents of the Univ. of Tex. Sys. v. BENQ Am. Corp., 533 F.3d 1362,
1371 (Fed. Cir. 2008)). Accordingly, we start from the presumption that
“security tag” and “firewall rule” have different meanings.
