“The question … is not whether "carrying" was a word used in the specification as filed but whether there is support in the specification for employment of the term in a claim; is the concept of carrying present in the original disclosure?” In re Anderson, 471 F.2d 1237, 1244 (CCPA 1973). “Mere rephrasing of a passage does not constitute new matter. Accordingly, a rewording of a passage where the same meaning remains intact is permissible.” MPEP § 2163.07.
