A claim that recites both a system (or apparatus) and a method of using that system (or apparatus) does not apprise one of ordinary skill in the art of its scope, and thus, is invalid under 35 U.S.C. 112, second paragraph. see IPXL Holdings, LLC v. Amazon.com, Inc., 430 F.3d 1377, 1384 (Fed. Cir. 2005). ...

Stated differently, one of ordinary skill in the art could reasonably consider the  "placed in an initial operating state" limitation as "directed to user actions, not system capabilities." In re Katz Interactive Call Processing Patent Litig., 639 F.3d 1303, 1318 (Fed. Cir. 2011), quoted in UltimatePointer, L.L.C. v. Nintendo Co., No. 2015-1297, 2016 WL 798354, at *9 (Fed. Cir. Mar. l , 2016). Thus, we reject claim I as invalid under 35 U.S.C. 112, second paragraph.
