In finding a claim anticipated under 35 U.S.C. § 102, the Board cannot “fill in missing limitations” simply because a skilled artisan would immediately envision them from the prior art. Nidec Motor Corp. v.Zhongshan Broad Ocean Motor Co., 851 F.3d 1270, 1274 (Fed. Cir. 2017) (citing Kennametal, Inc. v. Ingersoll Cutting Tool Co., 780 F.3d 1376, 1381 (Fed. Cir. 2015)); accord Topliff v. Topliff, 145 U.S. 156, 161 (1892) (“It is not sufficient to constitute an anticipation that the device relied upon might, by modification, be made to accomplish the function performed by the patent in question, if it were not designed by its maker, nor adapted, nor actually used, for the performance of such functions.”) (emphasis added).
