This is a clear and unmistakable assertion by the patentee to the PTO of the meaning and scope of the term preamble. The fact that the stipulation was contained in documents accompanying an IDS does not change this result. We have held that “an applicant’s remarks submitted with an [IDS] can be the basis for limiting claim scope.” Uship Intellectual Props., LLC v. United States, 714 F.3d 1311, 1315 (Fed. Cir. 2013); see also Ekchian v. Home Depot, Inc., 104 F.3d 1299, 1303 (Fed. Cir. 1997) (“An IDS is part of the prosecution history on which the examiner, the courts, and the public are entitled to rely.”).

The Examiner has rather speculated that, inherently, a nominal amount of such compressive force is exerted by gravity and the waterproof bond. Such a speculation is erred, particularly insofar as failing to establish a reason to believe that gravity or bonding compressively holds the transducer 132 with greater than de minimis force. See Crown Packaging Technology, Inc. v. Ball Metal Beverage Container Corp., 635 F.3d 1373, 1383 (Fed. Cir. 2011) (“[I]nherent anticipation requires . . . more than the presence of an unrecognized de minimis quantity of claimed substance in the prior art[.]” (citations omitted)).
