In short, Appellants’ Specification assigns or suggests to a person of ordinary skill in the art a particular scope or definition of these terms such that, in order to resolve the matter at hand, resort to a broader or a general dictionary definition of these terms for guidance is not justified. See Comaper Corp. v. Antec, Inc., 596 F.3d 1343 (Fed. Cir. 2010).
In Comaper, “[t]he patent specification [did] not assign or suggest a particular definition to the term ‘case’. Therefore, in determining the meaning of the claim term as viewed by a person of ordinary skill in the art, it is appropriate to consult a general dictionary definition of the word for guidance.” Comaper, 596 F.3d at 1348.
