This court stated in In re Craig, 56 CCPA 1438, 411 F.2d 1333, 162 USPQ 157 (1969), that the policy and purpose of the patent laws preclude the applicability of any doctrine akin to the judicially-developed doctrine of “res judicata” to bar the granting of patents on inventions that comply with the statute. The same policy and purpose precludes reliance on any such doctrine to force the granting of patents on inventions that do not comply with the statute. 

In re Borkowski, 505 F.2d 713, 718 (C.C.P.A. 1974) (emphasis added).

The Appellants’ general reference to the Gelli Declaration, without specific citations to facts (e.g., experimental comparative data as distinguished from mere assertions), is insufficient to identify a reversible error in the Examiner’s rejection. Cf. In re Borkowski, 505 F.2d 713, 718 (CCPA 1974) (“The original and supplemental affidavits together with the accompanying comments do not adequately explain what facts or data appellants are relying upon ...”); In re Lindner, 457 F.2d 506, 508 (CCPA 1972) (“[M]ere conclusory statements in the specification and affidavits are entitled to little weight when the Patent Office questions the efficacy of those statements.”).

In order to antedate a reference, an affidavit or declaration and exhibits must clearly explain which facts or data applicant is relying on to show completion of his or her invention prior to the particular date. Vague and general statements in broad terms about what the exhibits describe along with a general assertion that the exhibits describe a reduction to practice “amounts essentially to mere pleading, unsupported by proof or a showing of facts” and, thus, does not satisfy the requirements of 37 C.F.R. § 1.131(b). Applicant must give a clear explanation of the exhibits pointing out exactly what facts are established and relied on by applicant. In re Borkowski, 505 F.2d 713, 718–19 (CCPA 1974).

The primary purpose of the definiteness requirement is to ensure that the claims are written in such a way that they give notice to the public of the extent of the legal protection afforded by the patent, so that interested members of the public, e.g., competitors of the patent owner, can determine whether or not they infringe. All Dental Prodx, LLC v. Advantage Dental Prods., Inc., 309 F.3d 774, 779-80 (Fed. Cir. 2002). If the language of a claim is such that a person of ordinary skill in the art could not interpret the metes and bounds of the claim so as to understand how to avoid infringement, a rejection of the claim under 35 U.S.C. § 112, second paragraph, is appropriate. Orthokinetics, Inc. v. Safety Travel Chairs, Inc., 806 F.2d 1565, 1576 (Fed. Cir. 1986); Datamize, LLC v. Plumtree Software, Inc., 417 F.3d 1342, 1350 (Fed. Cir. 2005) (“Some objective standard must be provided in order to allow the public to determine the scope of the claimed invention.”). In addition, if the claims are inherently inconsistent with the description, definitions, and examples appearing in the specification, a rejection of the claim under 35 U.S.C. § 112, second paragraph, is likewise appropriate. In re Cohn, 438 F.2d 989, 993 (CCPA 1971).

Nevertheless, as correctly pointed out by Appellant on page 16 of the Appeal Brief, merely that a claim is broad does not mean that it is necessarily indefinite.
