Message: Claim construction
The claim should also be read “in the context of the entire patent, including the specification.”
Phillips, 415 F.3d at 1313.
The " specification" is always highly relevant to the claim construction analysis, usually it is
dispositive , it is the single best guide to the meaning of disputed term.Phillips,415F.3d at1315
(citing Vitronics,90F.3d at1582).
The specification may reveal a special definition given to a claim term by the patentee that differs
from the meaning it would otherwise possess .Id.at 1316
