To the extent that the Examiner is treating these limitations as intended use recitations, we disagree. These functional recitations provide for a compositional structure when a certain condition is met. A patent applicant is free to recite features of a composition either structurally or functionally. See, e.g., In re Schreiber, 128 F.3d 1473, 1478 (Fed. Cir. 1997); cf. MPEP § 2173.05(g) (“A functional limitation must be evaluated and considered, just like any other limitation of the claim, for what it fairly conveys to a person of ordinary skill in the pertinent art in the context in which it is used. A functional limitation is often used in association with an element, ingredient, or step of a process to define a particular capability or purpose that is served by the recited element, ingredient or step.”)
