The context may undoubtedly be resorted to, and often is resorted to, for the purpose of better understanding the meaning of the claim, but not for the purpose of changing it and making it different from what\u00a0it is. The claim is a statutory requirement, prescribed for the very purpose of making the patentee define precisely what his invention is, and it is unjust to the public, as well as an evasion of the law, to construe it in a manner different from the plain import of its terms.\u201d<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.717madisonplace.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/nose-wax.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-7096\" title=\"nose-wax\" src=\"http:\/\/www.717madisonplace.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/nose-wax.jpg\" alt=\"nose-wax\" width=\"320\" height=\"191\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.717madisonplace.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/nose-wax.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.717madisonplace.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/nose-wax-300x179.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 320px) 100vw, 320px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With Valentine&#8217;s Day approaching you may be wondering what to get that special patent professional in your life. \u00a0Here are a few options: 1) \u00a0An oldie, but a goodie: \u00a0The IP Man movie poster. 2) \u00a0The Mayo v.
