“Where a claim lists elements separately, ‘the clear implication of the claim language’ is that those elements are ‘distinct component[s]’ of the patented invention.” Becton, Dickinson & Co. v. Tyco Healthcare Grp., LP, 616 F.3d 1249, 1254 (Fed. Cir. 2010) (citing Gaus v. Conair Corp., 363 F.3d 1284, 1288 (Fed. Cir. 2004)); Engel Indus., Inc. v. Lockformer Co., 96 F.3d 1398, 1404–05 (Fed. Cir. 1996) (concluding that where a claim provides for two separate elements, a “second portion” and a “return portion,” these two elements “logically cannot be one and the same”). “When a claim requires two separate elements, one element construed as having two separate functions will not suffice to meet the terms of the claim.” Ex parte Koutsky, Appeal No. 2008-0557, 2008 WL 4359775 at *2 (BPAI Sept. 23, 2008) (citing Lantech Inc. v. Keip Machine Co., 32 F.3d 542, 547 (Fed. Cir. 1994)).

Where a claim provides for two separate elements, those two elements “logically cannot be one and the same.” Gaus v. Conair Corp., 363 F.3d 1284, 1288 (Fed.Cir.2004). See also Unique Concepts, Inc. v. Brown, 939 F.2d 1558, 1562 (Fed. Cir. 1991)( there can be no literal infringement where the patent in suit claims two elements and the accused device has only one element performing both functions). It is not enough that the prior art reference discloses part of the claimed invention, which an ordinary artisan might supplement to make the whole, or that it includes multiple, distinct teachings that the artisan might somehow combine to achieve the claimed invention. Net MoneyIn, Inc. v. Verisign, Inc., 545 F.3d 1359, 1369 (Fed. Cir. 2008).
