3635 Ex Parte Bousseton et al 12206098 - (D) HOFFMANN 112(2)/102/103 41.50 112(1)/112(2) Cantor Colburn LLP - IBM Endicott NGUYEN, CHI Q

In determining whether a claim is indefinite, "we employ a lower threshhold of ambiguity when reviewing a pending claim for indefiniteness than those used by post-issuance reviewing courts."  Ex Parte Kenichi Miyazaki, 89 USPQ2d 1207, 1211 (BPAI 2008) (precendential). Our precedential Miyazaki decision "hold[s] that if a claim is amenable to two or more plausible claim constructions, the USPTO is justified in requiring the applicant to more precisely define the metes and bounds of the claimed invention by holding the claim unpatentable under 35 USC 112, second paragraph, as indefinite." Id. See also In re Packard, 751 F.3d 1307, 1311 (Fed. CIr. 2014). We employ this standard because of our "duty to guard the public against patents of ambiguous and vague scope" and "because the applicant has an opportunity and a duty to amend the claims during prosecution to more clearly and precisely define the metes and bounds of the claimed invention and to more clearly and precisely put the public on notice of the scope of the patent." Id. at 1211-12.
