Under the doctrine of inherency, if a claimed element is not expressly disclosed in a prior art reference, the reference nevertheless anticipates the claim if the missing element is necessarily present in the reference, and it would be so recognized by skilled artisans. Rosco, Inc. v. Mirror Lite Co., 304 F.3d 1373, 1380 (Fed. Cir. 2002) (citations omitted). To anticipate the claim, the missing element must be necessarily present in the prior art—not merely probably or possibly present. Id.

The Board held:
[I]n reexamination proceedings in which the PTO is considering the patentability of claims of an expired patent which are not subject to amendment, a policy of liberal claim construction may properly and should be applied. Such a policy favors a construction of a patent claim that will render it valid, i.e., a narrow construction, over a broad construction that would render it invalid. Papst-Motoren, 1 USPQ2d at 1656; Ex parte Bowles, 23 USPQ2d 1015, 1017 (BPAI 1991) (both nonprecedential 4). The Board also held in both Papst-Motoren and Bowles that it would be error to read “inferential limitations” into the claims. Papst-Motoren, 1 USPQ2d at 1657; Bowles, 23 USPQ2d at 1017.
Papst-Motoren’s holding that “claims should be so construed, if possible, as to sustain their validity” is another way of saying that the USPTO does not apply the “broadest reasonable interpretation” in construing the claims of an expired patent in a reexamination proceeding.
4 Although Papst-Motoren is not designated as precedential, it was decided by an expanded panel of the Board of Patent Appeals and Interferences, including the Commissioner, the Deputy Commissioner, the Chairman of the Board, and an Examiner-in-Chief.

If an Applicant contends that additional steps or materials in the prior art are excluded by the transitional phrase “consisting essentially of,” Applicant has the burden of showing that the introduction of additional steps or components would materially change the characteristics of Applicant‟s invention. In re De Lajarte, 337 F.2d 870, 874 (CCPA 1964) (reversing Board because Appellant met burden (composition claim)). See also, Ex parte Hoffman, 1989 WL 274371 *3, 12 U.S.P.Q.2d 1061, 1063-64 (Bd.

If an Applicant contends that additional steps or materials in the prior art are excluded by the transitional phrase “consisting essentially of,” Applicant has the burden of showing that the introduction of additional steps or components would materially change the characteristics of Applicant‟s invention. In re De Lajarte, 337 F.2d 870, 874 (CCPA 1964) (reversing Board because Appellant met burden (composition claim)). See also, Ex parte Hoffman, 1989 WL 274371 *3, 12 U.S.P.Q.2d 1061, 1063-64 (Bd. Pat. App. & Inter. 1989) (“[I]t is an applicant‟s burden to establish that step practiced in a prior art method is excluded from [the] claims by „consisting essentially of‟ language.”).

The Broadest Reasonable Interpretation of Claims in Reexamination: A Standard Making It Easier to Invalidate Patent Claims
CAFC Applies The Wrong Claim Interpretation Standard in Patent Reexamination
“During reexamination, as with original examination, the PTO must give claims their broadest reasonable construction consistent with the specification.” In re Suitco Surface, Inc., 603 F.3d 1255, 1259 (Fed. Cir. 2010). “Construing claims broadly during prosecution is not unfair to the applicant (or, in this case, the patentee), because the applicant has the opportunity to amend the claims to obtain more precise claim coverage.” In re American Academy Of Science Tech Center, 367 F.3d 1359, 1364 (Fed. Cir. 2004) (appeal from reexamination proceeding).4

fn4 We observe that although not pointed out or argued by the Patent Owner in its brief, the ‘595 patent expired in 2010 for failure to pay a maintenance fee. (See Notification of Expiration of Patent Under Reexamination filed Aug. 10, 2010). “[I]n reexaminations proceedings in which the PTO is considering the patentability of claims of an expired patent which are not subject to amendment, a policy of liberal claim construction may properly and should be applied. Such a policy favors a construction of a patent claim that will render it valid, i.e., a narrow construction, over a broad construction that would render it invalid.” Ex parte Bowles, 23 USPQ2d 1015, 1017 (BPAI 1991) (quoting Ex parte Papst-Motoren, 1 USPQ2d 1655, 1656 (BPAI 1986)) (both nonprecedential). However, we decline to apply this policy to the present case. Such policy is premised on an inability to amend the claim, but the policy is not applicable in the present case wherein the Patent Owner had ample opportunity to amend the claims of the ‘595 patent prior to its expiration and the expiration of the ‘595 patent was volitional by the Patent Owner’s intentional failure to pay the required maintenance fee.
