2662 Raytheon Company 15150781 - (D) ANDERSON 103 Docket Clerk-Raytheon/MWM MISLEH, JUSTIN P

Our reviewing court has determined the term “substantially uniform thickness,” meant “of largely or approximately uniform thickness.” CordisCorp. v. Medtronic AVE, Inc., 339 F.3d 1352, 1361 (Fed.Cir.2003). Although this interpretation is similar to the Examiner’s construction, we are not persuaded that Sharp discloses the substantially the same limitation. 

We specifically determine that the predicate for the Examiner’s determination is that Sharp discloses that the photorefractive crystal is “slightly larger” than the “where the optical beam enters the photorefractive crystal.” We agree with the Appellant that Sharp discloses that the photorefractive crystal is in fact substantially larger than the point where the input radiation enters the photorefractive crystal. See Appeal Br. 12. Indeed, based on Sharp’s Figure 1, the optical beam has virtually no cross section.

The phrase "to form" is not intrinsically limiting. In Cordis Corp. v. Medtronic AVE., Inc., the court analysized "slots formed therein" and determined that the phrase indicated a result rather than a specific process.

The Examiner asserts there is no difference between Lee’s unitary heat treatment and the claimed invention’s two-step heat treatment (Ans. 11). In support of this conclusion, the Examiner cites Ex parte Rubin, 128 USPQ 440 (BPAI 1959) (Ans. 8, 11, 15, and 16). However, the Examiner’s reliance on Rubin, is misplaced, as Rubin does not address splitting one step into two, only the transposition of two steps.

“To fulfill the written description requirement [under 35 U.S.C. § 112], the patent specification must describe an invention in sufficient detail that one skilled in the art can clearly conclude that the inventor invented what is claimed.” Kao Corp. v. Unilever U.S., Inc., 441 F.3d 963, 967-968 (Fed. Cir. 2006) (quoting Cordis Corp. v. Medtronic AVE, Inc., 339 F.3d 1352, 1364 (Fed. Cir. 2003)). Our reviewing court has cautioned, however, that “[t]he disclosure as originally filed does not … have to provide in haec verba support for the claimed subject matter at issue.” Cordis Corp., 339 F.3d at 1364 (internal citation omitted). “Although [the applicant] does not have to describe exactly the subject matter claimed, the description must clearly allow persons of ordinary skill in the art to recognize that [he or she] invented what is claimed.” In re Gosteli, 872 F.2d 1008, 1012 (Fed. Cir. 1989) (citations omitted). Put another way, “the applicant must … convey with reasonable clarity to those skilled in the art that, as of the filing date sought, he or she was in possession of the invention.” Vas-Cath, Inc. v. Mahurkar, 935 F.2d 1555, 1563-64 (Fed. Cir. 1991) (emphasis in original).
