The Federal Circuit, in Vascular Solutions LLC v. Medtronic, INC., 2024-1398 (Fed. Cir. Sept. 2024), clarified that a claim term meant to achieve a certain function can be interpreted to have a functional meaning without defining the boundary of the term. Additionally, the Court reiterated that claim construction should be done on a claim-by-claim basis with recognition that each independent claim outlines a different arrangement of claim limitations. This case highlights the importance and complexity of construing claim terms in a manner that is cohesive with all claim combinations within large patent families.
