1612 Ex Parte Mathiesen et al 11597454 - (D) GRIMES 103 Mintz Levin/Special Group MILLIGAN, ADAM C

"'[C]losed' transition phrases such as 'consisting of are understood to exclude any ... ingredients not specified in the claim." AFG Indus., Inc. v. Cardinal JG Co., 239 F.3d 1239, 1245 (Fed. Cir. 2001). The claims therefore do not encompass any granulates that include ingredients other than those expressly specified. Piene's granules include a binder (in addition to any calcium compound, sorbitol, and mannitol they might also potentially include), and the binders suggested by Piene do not include any of the three components of the claimed granules. We therefore agree with Appellants that the claimed invention would not have been obvious based on Piene.
