| The numerical terminology used in a claim can only indicate the minimum or the maximum value, or to include the range between 0 to 100%. For example, “greater than..,” “smaller than…,” “at least…,” “at most…,” “…above,” “…below,” “0 to…%,” and so on, may usually result in an unclear claim. Only when this kind of terminology has a clear definition in a specific technical field, or when those skilled in the art can understand the scope based on the specification, which will not result in an unclear definition, can this type of terminology be used in a claim. |
