“One circumstance in which claims are indefinite is where the claims, as properly construed, are nonsensical.” Horizon Pharma, Inc. v. Dr. Reddy’s Laboratories Inc., 839 Fed. Appx. 500, 505 (Fed. Cir. 2021) (nonprecedential); see also Trs. of Columbia Univ. v. Symantec Corp., 811 F.3d 1359, 1366–67 (Fed. Cir. 2016) (holding claims describing the extraction of machine code instructions from something that did not have machine code instructions indefinite as “nonsensical in the way a claim to extracting orange juice from apples would be”). We find that is the case here.
