As an initial matter, although the Examiner did not proffer a claim construction, claim construction is an issue of law that is left for a court or a tribunal. "[W]hen the district court reviews only evidence intrinsic to the patent (the patent claims and specifications, along with the patent's prosecution history), the judge's determination will amount solely to a determination of law." Teva Pharms. USA, Inc. v. Sandoz, Inc., 135 S. Ct. 831, 841 (2015). "[T]he ultimate issue of the proper construction of a claim should be treated as a question of law." Id. at 838.
We construe claim terms according to their broadest reasonable construction in light of the specification of the patent or application in which they appear. In re Bigio, 381 F.3d 1320, 1324 (Fed. Cir. 2004).
