Lastly, we agree with Appellants that the Examiner errs in finding that, other than “receiving an encryption key,” the disputed limitation is an intended use, which does not have patentable weight. To the contrary, “to be used for encrypting and decrypting transaction data over a second communication channel . . . [which uses] a cellular communications network” is a fundamental characteristic of the claimed invention and relates to claim 1’s other limitations. See Vizio, Inc. v. Int’l Trade Comm’n, 605 F.3d 1330, 1340 (Fed. Cir. 2010) (“[C]onclud[ing] that . . . ‘for decoding’ . . . is properly construed as a claim limitation, and not merely a statement of purpose or intended use for the invention, because ‘decoding’ is the essence or a fundamental characteristic of the claimed invention.”); In re Jasinski, 508 F. App’x 950, 952 (Fed. Cir. 2013) (finding claim language that provided criteria to analyze other limitations limiting, rather than an intended use); App. Br. 22 (claim 1 further reciting “receiving encrypted data . . . through the second communication channel” and “decrypting the encrypted data . . . using the encryption key”). Accordingly, we find that the Examiner errs in finding that the disputed limitation recites an intended use.
