We agree with Appellant. The broadest reasonable interpretation does not mean the broadest possible interpretation. See Microsoft Corp. v. Proxyconn, Inc., 789 F.3d 1292, 1298 (Fed. Cir. 2015) (stating that although claim terms must be given their broadest reasonable interpretation, the interpretation must still be reasonable). The claims do not recite “maintaining” a given throwback distance; rather the claim recites “adjustably maintaining” the throwback distance. The Examiner’s construction of “adjustably maintaining the throwback distance substantially constant” that covers a method where the throwback distance cannot be adjusted during printing would render the term “adjustably” superfluous and is unreasonable. See Merck & Co. v. Teva Pharms. USA, Inc., 395 F.3d 1364, 1372 (Fed. Cir. 2005) (rejecting a proposed claim construction that would render claim terms superfluous).

Although we give claims their broadest reasonable interpretation, “the construction cannot be divorced from the specification and the record evidence.”  In re Man Machine Interface Technologies LLC, 822 F.3d 1282, 1286 (Fed. Cir. 2016) (quoting In re NTP, Inc., 654 F.3d 1279, 1288 (Fed.

Our reviewing court has instructed that:

[U]nder the broadest reasonable interpretation, the Board's construction "cannot be divorced from the specification and the record evidence," In re NTP, Inc., 654 F.3d 1279, 1288 (Fed. Cir. 2011 ), and "must be consistent with the one that those skilled in the art would reach," In re Cortright, 165 F.3d 1353, 1358 (Fed. Cir. 1999). A construction that is "unreasonably broad" and which does not "reasonably reflect the plain language and disclosure" will not pass muster.

Microsoft Corp. v. Proxyconn, Inc., 789 F.3d 1292, 1298 (Fed. Cir. 2015) (quoting In re Suitco Surface, Inc., 603 F.3d 1255, 1260 (Fed. Cir. 2010)).

As our reviewing Court recently reiterated, "[t]he protocol of giving claims their broadest reasonable interpretation ... does not include giving claims a legally incorrect interpretation." Microsoft Corp. v. Proxyconn, Inc., 789 F.3d 1292, 1298 (Fed. Cir. 2015) (citing In re Skvorecz, 580 F.3d 1262, 1267 (Fed. Cir. 2009); see also In re Suitco Surface, Inc., 603 F.3d 1255, 1260 (Fed. Cir. 2010) ("The broadest-construction rubric coupled with the term 'comprising' does not give the PTO an unfettered license to interpret claims to embrace anything remotely related to the claimed invention.").
