An obviousness analysis involves two steps. “We first construe the claim, a question of law, and second we compare the construed claim to the prior art, a question of fact.” In re Hiok Nam Tay, 579 F. App’x 999, 1000 (Fed. Cir. 2014) (citing Key Pharm. v. Hercon Labs. Corp., 161 F.3d 709, 714 (Fed. Cir. 1998). 3 “Claims in patent applications are given their broadest reasonable construction in light of the claims themselves and the specification as it would be interpreted by one of ordinary skill in the art.” Hiok Nam Tay, 579 F. App’x at 1000 (citing Phillips v. AWH Corp., 415 F.3d 1303, 1316 (Fed. Cir. 2005)).

3 Hiok Nam Tay involves anticipation, but, as stated in Key Pharm., the same two-step analysis applies to obviousness as well. Key Pharm., 161 F.3d at 714.

The claims, of course, do not stand alone. Rather, they are part of a "fully integrated written instrument" ... consisting principally of a specification that concludes with the claims. For that reason, claims "must be read in view of the specification, of which they are a part." . . . . [T]he specification "is always highly relevant to the claim construction analysis. Usually, it is dispositive; it is the single best guide to the meaning of a disputed term."

Appellants do not provide any persuasive reasoning or evidence that such an upper surface as depicted in Matsuda that includes tabs is not encompassed by the claim language. For example only, Appellants have not recited that the upper surface is planar and exclusive of any projections/tabs. Cf. Howmedica Osteonics Corp. v. Wright Med. Tech., Inc., 540 F.3d 1337, 1345 (Fed. Cir. 2008) (declining to impute a limitation into a disputed claim term in the absence of a clear requirement in the specification, even where “every disclosure of [the disputed term] in the specification shows [the alleged limitation]”); see also Ventana Med. Sys., Inc. v. BiogenexLabs., Inc., 473 F.3d 1173, 1181 (Fed. Cir. 2006) (“[T]he mere fact that the [asserted] patent discloses [only certain] embodiments . . . does not in and of itself mean that the method claims at issue are limited to the disclosed embodiments.”); Phillips v. AWH Corp., 415 F.3d 1303, 1323 (Fed. Cir. 2005) (en banc) (“[W]e have expressly rejected the contention that if a patent describes only a single embodiment, the claims of the patent must be construed as being limited to that embodiment.”).

The claims are “of primary importance, in the effort to ascertain precisely what it is that is patented.” Phillips v. AWH Corp., 415 F.3d 1303, 1312 (Fed. Cir. 2005) (citing Merrill v. Yeomans, 94 U.S. 568, 570 (1876)).  Hence, we first “look to the words of the claims themselves . . . to define the scope of the patented invention” in the context of the particular claim in which the term appears.  Vitronics Corp., 90 F.3d 1576, 1582 (Fed. Cir. 1996).  “[T]he context in which a term is used in the asserted claim can be highly instructive.”  Phillips, 415 F.3d at 1314.

Under the proper legal standard, a reference will teach away when it suggests that the developments flowing from its disclosures are unlikely to produce the objective of the applicant’s invention. ... A statement that a particular combination is not a preferred embodiment does not teach away absent clear discouragement of that combination. . . .

Because of the contradictory, ambiguous language in paragraph 12 of  Appellants’ Specification, we find no clear and unequivocal disclaimer. As explained by our reviewing court, even under the narrower Phillips standard of claim construction applied in infringement proceedings:

Disavowal can be effectuated by language in the specification or the prosecution history. See Phillips, 415 F.3d at 1316-17. In either case, the standard for disavowal is exacting, requiring clear and unequivocal evidence that the claimed invention includes or does not include a particular feature. See Openwave Sys., Inc. v. Apple Inc., 808 F.3d 509, 513-14 (Fed. Cir. 2015); Omega Eng’g., Inc. v. Raytek Corp., 334 F.3d 1314, 1323-26 (Fed. Cir. 2003). Ambiguous language cannot support disavowal. Omega, 334 F.3d at 1324; see also Schindler Elevator Corp. v. Otis Elevator Co., 593 F.3d 1275, 1285 (Fed. Cir. 2010).

Poly-America, L.P. v. API Industries, Inc., 839 F.3d 1131, 1136 (Fed. Cir. 2016).
