The Examiner’s interpretation of the term “criterion” is unreasonably broad, because it is untethered from the Specification’s disclosure (see Morris, 127 F.3d at 1054) and from the enlightenment provided by the dependent claims (see Vitronics Corp. v. Conceptronic, Inc., 90 F.3d 1576, 1582 (Fed. Cir. 1996)).

Nevertheless, “interpreting what is meant by a word in a claim is not to be confused with adding an extraneous limitation appearing in the specification, which is improper.” In re Cruciferous Sprout Litigation, 301 F.3d 1343, 1348 (Fed. Cir. 2002) (emphasis omitted).
