In Power2B, Inc. v. Samsung Elecs. Co., Ltd., the Federal Circuit reaffirmed the canons of claim differentiation and term differentiation, deciding that varying terminology among patent claims doesn't guarantee differing meanings. The case involved a light-emitting stylus technology where Samsung contested the PTAB's decision regarding claim 20. While Samsung believed there was no significant difference between the limitations of claim 20 and claim 13, the court emphasized that the interpretation of claims depends heavily on context, leading to both clarity and ambiguity in patent law.
The Federal Circuit ruled in Power2B v. Samsung that differing claim terms may not reflect different meanings, underscoring the nuanced interpretation of patent claims.
Despite different language in patents, terms can be construed as covering the same subject matter, highlighting the need for clarity in patent claims.
