As the court in In re Wilson, 424 F.2d 1382 (CCPA 1970) stated:
[a]ll words in a claim must be considered in judging the patentability of that claim against the prior art. If no reasonably definite meaning can be ascribed to certain terms in the claim, the subject matter does not become obvious -- the claim becomes indefinite.
