“It is impermissible within the framework of section 103 to pick and choose from any one reference only so much of it as will support a given position, to the exclusion of other parts necessary to the full appreciation of what such reference fairly suggests to one of ordinary skill in the art.”  See In re Hedges, 783 F.2d 1038, 1041 (Fed. Cir. 1986) (citations omitted)).

Before we consider the teachings of Jagannathan and Trandal, however, we first address the issue of claim scope in light of this Board’s recent precedential decision in Ex Parte Schulhauser, Appeal No. 2013-007848 (PTAB April 28, 2016) (“Schulhauser”). In Schulhauser, the Board held, when construing a method claim according to its broadest reasonable interpretation, conditional steps in process claims need not be carried out to be within the scope of the claim. Schulhauser at 8.
