Autogiro Co. of Am. v. U.S., 384 F.2d 391 (Ct. Cl. 1967) ... Appellant quotes Autogiro: “In those instances where a visual representation can flesh out words, drawings may be used in the same manner and with the same limitations as the specification.”  Appeal Br. 4 (quoting Autogiro, 384 F.2d at 398).  However, in the case before us, Figures 3, 4, and 5 are not “fleshing out” words.  Instead, Appellant seeks to substitute each of these figures for all the descriptive words regarding the hollow interior’s size in relation to the outer circumference of the pipeshaped electrode body.  Autogiro does not support Appellant’s position.

Appellant cites, inter alia, Dynamic Drinkware, LLC v. Nat’l Graphics, Inc., 800 F.3d 1375 (Fed. Cir. 2015). See Reply Br. 29. We find Dynamic Drinkware, and the subsequent Amgen Inc. v. Sanofi, 872 F.3d 1367 (Fed. Cir. 2017), to be controlling on this issue.

In Dynamic Drinkware, a review of the Board’s decision in an inter partes review, the Federal Circuit held that the party having the burden of proof, there the petitioner, but here the Examiner, must prove that a prior art patent is entitled to priority to its provisional application under § 119(e), if such provisional date is necessary to establish that the patent is indeed prior art. Dynamic Drinkware, 800 F.3d at 1380. To establish such priority, the Federal Circuit held that the claims of the asserted prior art patent must be compared to the disclosure of the provisional because “[a] reference patent is only entitled to claim the benefit of the filing date of its provisional application if the disclosure of the provisional application provides support for the claims in the reference patent in compliance with § 112, ¶ 1.” Id. at 1381 (emphasis added). Here, Doudna is not a patent, but is a published application. However, in Amgen the Federal Circuit confirmed that the Dynamic Drinkware enablement and written description analysis must also be applied to published applications, such that a comparison must be made between the disclosure of the related provisional(s) and the claims of the published application to establish that the published application is prior art as of its provisional’s filing date. Amgen, 872 F.3d at 1380 (citing Dynamic Drinkware, 800 F.3d at 1378). Although the Office has indicated that it follows these requirements of Dynamic Drinkware when determining whether a reference qualifies as prior art under pre-AIA 35 U.S.C. § 102(e), the MPEP is silent with respect to whether these requirements are applicable to § 102 as amended by the AIA.

For purposes of this decision, we understand that the requirements of Dynamic Drinkware and Amgen apply here.

Accordingly, the appearance of the word “abstraction,” in the claims, does not bear upon the patent-eligibility of the claimed subject matter, or whether any portion of it constitutes an “abstract idea.”  Law is not so formalistic that the usage of a word, in one context, would mandate a particular outcome, in another.  See Yates v. U.S., 574 U.S. 528, 537 (2015) (“In law as in life, . . . the same words, placed in different contexts, sometimes mean different things.”)

Appellant acknowledges that although there is no in haec verba requirement, nonetheless, when an explicit limitation in a claim is not present in the written description, it must be shown that a person of ordinary skill would have understood that the description requires that limitation. Appeal Br. 3–4 (citing In re Lukach, 442 F.2d 967, 969 (CCPA 1971)). Thus, Appellant asserts “there is no description in the [S]pecification of any other way in which the coil fouling process is detected or monitored ---- it is only done through monitoring of the temperature rise over time.” Id. at 4 (bolding omitted) (citing Spec. 3; Ex parte Narayanan, Appeal No. 2008- 6356 (BPAI May 18, 2009)).
