Whether a reference is reasonably pertinent “rests on the extent to which the reference of interest and the claimed invention relate to a similar problem or purpose.” Donner Tech., LLC v. Pro Stage Gear, LLC, 979 F.3d 1353, 1359 (Fed. Cir. 2020). A reference is analogous if it is reasonably pertinent to at least one of the problems faced by the inventor(s). See id. at 1361 (“[I]f the two references have ‘pertinent similarities’ such that [the asserted reference] is reasonably pertinent to one or more of the problems to which the [challenged] patent pertains, then [the asserted reference] is analogous art.” (emphasis added)).

“In the most specific sense, ‘claim differentiation’ refers to the presumption that an independent claim should not be construed as requiring a limitation added by a dependent claim.” Liebel-Flarsheim Company v. Medrad, Inc., 358 F.3d 898 (Fed. Cir. 2004). In view of § 112(d) and the doctrine of claim differentiation, we do not construe claim 21 to require a transition region around the entire perimeter of the mating region. However, that begs the question: Around how much of the perimeter does claim 21 require the transition region to extend? The answer to that question is unknown to us and likewise would be to a person of ordinary skill in the art reading the claim in view of the Specification.

That is, the doctrine of claim differentiation creates a presumption that claim 9 does not contain the limitation of claim 22, as “’the presence of a dependent claim that adds a particular limitation raised a presumption that the limitation in question is not found in the independent claim.’” Bancorp Serv. V. Sun Life Assurance Co., 687 F.3d 1266, 1275 (Fed. Cir. 2012) (citation omitted). See also Liebel-Flarsheim Co. v. Medrad, Inc., 358 F.3d 898, 910 (Fed. Cir. 2004) (the doctrine of claim differentiation is at its strongest where Appellant wants to read a feature from a dependent claim into a term in an independent claim). The doctrine of claim differentiation therefore means that “material handling vehicle” in claim 9 is not limited to, and does not include, the fork lift, lift truck, flat bed, or pallet truck recited in claim 22.
