Without the recitation of a positive, active step specifying how the reinforcing device for load-bearing structures is to be produced, a person of ordinary skill in the art cannot determine which production method is encompassed by the claim. See Ex Parte Erlich, 3 USPQ.2d 1011, 1107 (BPAI 1986) (“While . . . the claims need not recite all of the operating details, we do find that a method claim should at least recite a positive, active step(s) so that the claim will ‘set out and circumscribe a particular area with a reasonable degree of precision and particularity,’ and make it clear what subject matter [the] claims encompass, as well as making clear the subject matter from which others would be precluded.”) (citations omitted); see also Clinical Products Limited v. Brenner, 255 F. Supp. 131, 133 (D.C. D.C. 1966) (“[A] proper process or method claim should recite at least one process step.”).
