“[I]nterpretations that render some portion of the claim language superfluous are disfavored.” Power Mosfet Techs., LLC v. Siemens AG, 378 F.3d 1396, 1410 (Fed.Cir.2004). “Claims must be interpreted with an eye toward giving effect to all terms in the claim.” Info-Hold, Inc. v. Muzak LLC, 783 F.3d 1365, 1373 (Fed. Cir. 2015); see also In re Wilson, 424 F.2d 1382, 1385 (CCPA 1970) (“All words in a claim must be considered in judging the patentability of [a] claim against the prior art. If no reasonably definite meaning can be ascribed to certain terms in the claim, the subject matter does not become obvious—the claim becomes indefinite.”).
