The subject matter of claim 1 encompasses a substrate that comprises metals "selected from the group consisting of silver, copper, steel, aluminum, cobalt, chromium, titanium, niobium, tantalum, alloys thereof, and combinations thereof." When the phrase "consisting of' appears in a clause of the body of a claim, rather than immediately following the preamble, there is an "exceptionally strong presumption that a claim term set off with 'consisting of' is closed to unrecited elements." Multilayer Stretch Cling Film Holdings, Inc. v. Berry Plastics Corp., 831 F.3d 1350, 1359 (Fed. Cir. 2016) (a layer "selected from the group consisting of' specific resins is closed to resins other than those listed). However, there is a lack of clarity as to the recited element "alloys thereof."
