And even assuming that were so, this mere description of Appellant’s preferred embodiment would not be a clear and unmistakable disclaimer of the plain meaning of “mailer” given above.

See Thorner v. Sony Computer, No. 2011-1114, slip op. at 7 (Fed. Cir. Feb. 1, 2012) (“It is likewise not enough that the only embodiments, or all of the embodiments, contain a particular limitation. We do not read limitations from the specification into claims; we do not redefine words. Only the patentee can do that. To constitute disclaimer, there must be a clear and unmistakable disclaimer.”).
