Here, the claims are directed to a reed switch, not a method of making the reed switch. Therefore, patentability is determined by the actual product made-not the process by which it is made, and the burden was properly shifted to the Appellant to show that the products are in fact patentably different. Cf In re Thorpe, 777 F.2d 695, 697 (Fed Cir. 1985).

Essentially, Appellants are asking us to import a limitation from the Specification into the claim. Our reviewing court has repeatedly cautioned lower courts against limiting the claimed invention to preferred embodiments or specific examples in the specification. Teleflex, Inc. v. Ficosa North America Corp., 299 F.3d 1313, 1328 (Fed. Cir. 2002).

[T]he line between construing terms and importing limitations can be discerned with reasonable certainty and predictability if the court's focus remains on understanding how a person of ordinary skill in the art would understand the claim terms. For instance, although the specification often describes very specific embodiments of the invention, we have repeatedly warned against confining the claims to those embodiments ... In particular, we have expressly rejected the contention that if a patent describes only a single embodiment, the claims of the patent must be construed as being limited to that embodiment. 

Phillips v. AWH Corp., 415 F.3d 1303, 1323 (Fed. Cir. 2005). Phillips counsels us that, upon reading the specification in the context of teaching a person of ordinary skill in the art to make or use the invention, it will become clear whether the specification is setting out specific examples of the invention to accomplish the goal of teaching or whether the specification and claims, instead, are intended to be coextensive. Id. Based on our review of the Specification, we are of the opinion that the teaching of paragraphs 19-20 is merely exemplary and not limiting.

Phillips v. AWH Corp., 415 F.3d 1303, 75 USPQ2d 1321 (Fed. Cir. 2005) 2111 , 2111.01 , 2143.01 , 2258

Although the PTO must give claims their broadest reasonable interpretation, this interpretation must be consistent with the one that those skilled in the art would reach." In re Cortright, 165 F.3d 1353, 1358 (Fed. Cir. 1999). "Prior art references may be 'indicative of what all those skilled in the art generally believe a certain term means ... [and] can often help to demonstrate how a disputed term is used by those skilled in the art.' Accordingly, the PTO's interpretation of claim terms should not be so broad that it conflicts with the meaning given to identical terms in other patents from analogous art." Id. (Citations omitted).
