“high”

From Patentbarquestions

Jump to: navigation, search

This question asked if a claim was indefinite because it used the word ‘high’ instead of a range.

There were various answers ranging from never to always. I chose one in the middle which said

something about it being acceptable as long as there is enough description in the specification

that would allow one of ordinary skill in the art to know what ‘high’ means.
