Claim language employing terms of degree has long been found
definite where it provided enough certainty to one of skill in the art when
read in the context of the invention. Interval Licensing LLC v. AOL Inc., 766
F.3d 1364, 1370 (Fed. Cir. 2014); see, e.g., Eibel Process Co. v. Minnesota
& Ontario Paper Co., 261 U.S. 45, 65–66 (1923) (finding "substantial pitch"
sufficiently definite because one skilled in the art "had no difficulty . . . in
determining what was the substantial pitch needed" to practice the
invention). Claim terms of degree “necessarily call for a comparison against some baseline.” Liberty Ammunition, Inc., v. U.S., 835 F.3d 1388, 1395
(Fed. Cir. 2016).
