However, a claim is not made unclear simply because an upper boundary is not specified. See Exxon Research & Engineering Co. v. U.S., 265 F.3d 1371, 1382 (Fed. Cir. 2001), abrogated on other grounds  by Nautilus, Inc. v. Biosig Instruments, Inc., 134 S. Ct. 2120 (2014). In Exxon Research, the Federal Circuit held that claims reciting a minimum particle size, but no maximum particle size, did not result in any indefiniteness as to the recitation because the claim scope, albeit broad, was nonetheless clear. See id.

 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)

The definiteness of a term of degree is problematic if its baseline for comparison is unclear to those of ordinary skill in the art. Liberty Ammunition, Inc. v. United States, 835 F.3d 1388, 1395 (Fed. Cir. 2016). We especially take caution when presented with terms of degree following the Supreme Court's decision in Nautilus, Inc. v. Biosig Instruments, Inc., [572 U.S. 898], 134 S.Ct. 2120, 189 L.Ed.2d 37 (2014), which instructs that a claim must "inform those skilled in the art about the scope of the invention with reasonable certainty" to meet the definiteness requirement of 35 U.S.C. § 112, ¶
 2, id. at 2129. While our post-Nautilus cases indicate that terms of degree are not "inherently indefinite" in light of the Supreme Court's decision, we have recognized that claims having terms of degree will fail for indefiniteness unless they "provide objective boundaries for those of skill in the art" when read in light of the specification and the prosecution history. 

Id. at 1395-96, citing Interval Licensing LLC v. AOL, Inc., 766 F.3d 1364, 1370-71 (Fed. Cir. 2014).

We agree with Appellant. The Supreme Court articulated the test for indefiniteness as "requir[ing] that a patent's claims, viewed in light of the specification and prosecution history, inform those skilled in the art about the scope of the invention with reasonable certainty." Nautilus, Inc. v. Biosig Instruments, Inc., 572 U.S. 898, 910 (2014). "As long as claim terms satisfy this test, relative terms and words of degree do not render patent claims invalid." One-E-Way, Inc. v. International Trade Commission, 859 F.3d 1059, 1063 (Fed. Cir. 2017). "To determine whether a particular term is indefinite, ' [o]ne must bear in mind ... that patents are "not addressed to lawyers, or even to the public generally," but rather to those skilled in the relevant art."' Id. ( citing Nautilus, 572 U.S. at 909).
