Overview: A central question in every patent case is the meaning of the words used in the patent claims both to compare the invention with prior art and to determine infringement. In order to resolve these questions, the court must properly construe the claims, specifically the words and phrases of the claims. To interpret the scope of the claims, the court focuses on what one of ordinary skill in the art at the time of the invention would have understood the terms to mean.
