That is, the filing date of the provisional application can only be relied on if, given hypothetical claims encompassing the pertinent subject matter, the provisional application meets the requirements of 35 U.S.C. §112(a) for the pertinent subject matter. Cf.

 The definiteness requirement “strikes a ‘delicate balance’ between ‘the inherent limitations of language’ and providing ‘clear notice of what is claimed.’” Sonix Tech. Co. v. Publ’nsInt’l, Ltd., 844 F.3d 1370, 1377 (Fed. Cir. 2017) (quoting Nautilus, Inc. v.Biosig Instruments, Inc., 572 U.S. 898, 909 (2014)). Due to the need for “particular[ity]” and “distinct[ness],” claim language that “is ambiguous, vague, incoherent, opaque, or otherwise unclear in describing and defining the claimed invention” warrants a rejection under § 112(b). In re Packard, 751 F.3d 1307, 1311, 1313 (Fed. Cir. 2014)

Appellant contendsthat even though the upper end of the claimed range is open-ended, the Federal Circuit has held that this is not inherently improper, and that such a claim limitation may be supported (Appeal Br. 8, 9 (discussing Anderson Corp. v. Fiber Composites, LLC, 474 F.3d 1361 (Fed. Cir. 2007))). As stated in Anderson

As we have said, “[o]pen-ended claims are not inherently improper, as for all claims their appropriateness depends on the particular facts of the invention, the disclosure, and the prior art. They may be supported if there is an inherent, albeit not precisely known, upper limit and the specification enables one of skill in the art to approach that limit.”

Id. at 1376–77, quoting Scripps Clinic & Research Found. v. Genetech, Inc., 927 F.2d 1565, 1572 (Fed. Cir. 1991).
