See Epos Techs. Ltd. v. Pegasus Techs. Ltd., 766 F.3d 1338, 1341 (Fed. Cir. 2014) (holding that “it is improper to read limitations from a preferred embodiment described in the specification—even if it is the only embodiment—into the claims absent a clear indication in the intrinsic record that the patentee intended the claims to be so limited” Liebel-Flarsheim v. Medrad, Inc., 358 F.3d 898, 913 (Fed.Cir.2004)

Whether a reference is reasonably pertinent “rests on the extent to which the reference of interest and the claimed invention relate to a similar problem or purpose.” Donner Tech., LLC v. Pro Stage Gear, LLC, 979 F.3d 1353, 1359 (Fed. Cir. 2020). A reference is analogous if it is reasonably pertinent to at least one of the problems faced by the inventor(s). See id. at 1361 (“[I]f the two references have ‘pertinent similarities’ such that [the asserted reference] is reasonably pertinent to one or more of the problems to which the [challenged] patent pertains, then [the asserted reference] is analogous art.” (emphasis added)).
