Indefiniteness

A patent claim is invalid for indefiniteness if, read in light of the specification and the prosecution history, it fails to inform a person skilled in the art about the scope of the invention with reasonable certainty. The standard comes from the Supreme Court's decision in Nautilus and replaced an earlier, more forgiving test. Indefiniteness is closely bound to claim construction and is often decided in the same order: a term the court cannot construe at all is frequently a term that fails this standard. Recurring disputes involve terms of degree, subjective language, and means-plus-function limitations with no corresponding structure disclosed. The opinions here address all of these.
