As to the functional equivalents rationale, that the prior art may disclose structure that performs the same or a similar function as the recited structure does not necessarily demonstrate that the prior art satisfies a structural limitation, such as the "stub tube" limitations. See In re Ruskin, 347 F.2d 843, 847 (CCPA 1965) (reversing an anticipation rejection based on an error "in finding merely functionally equivalent structure to anticipate the specific structure claimed")

The determination of whether the "wherein clause" is a limitation in a claim depends on the specific facts of the case. See, e.g., Griffin v. Bertina, 285 F.3d 1029, 1034 (Fed. Cir. 2002) (finding that a "wherein" clause limited a process claim where the clause gave "meaning and purpose to the manipulative steps").
