“Where a claim lists elements separately, ‘the clear implication of the claim language’ is that those elements are ‘distinct component[s]’ of the patented invention.” Becton, Dickinson & Co. v. Tyco Healthcare Grp., LP, 616 F.3d 1249, 1254 (Fed. Cir. 2010) (citing Gaus v. Conair Corp., 363 F.3d 1284, 1288 (Fed. Cir. 2004)); Engel Indus., Inc. v. Lockformer Co., 96 F.3d 1398, 1404–05 (Fed. Cir. 1996) (concluding that where a claim provides for two separate elements, a “second portion” and a “return portion,” these two elements “logically cannot be one and the same”). “When a claim requires two separate elements, one element construed as having two separate functions will not suffice to meet the terms of the claim.” Ex parte Koutsky, Appeal No. 2008-0557, 2008 WL 4359775 at *2 (BPAI Sept. 23, 2008) (citing Lantech Inc. v. Keip Machine Co., 32 F.3d 542, 547 (Fed. Cir. 1994)).

See Engel Indus., Inc. v. Lochformer Co., 96 F.3d 1398, 1404-05 (Fed. Cir. 1996) (construing separate claim terms as reciting separate structures). We, thus, agree with Appellants that because  Baehmann’s spar caps 26, 28 constitute the claimed “scarfed sections,” they cannot also correspond to the claimed “tapered coupling.”

 As such, because each of claims 1 and 21 recites that the claimed probe is configured for communication with an ultrasound console, the probe and the ultrasound console constitute separate elements and, therefore, the Examiner’s interpretation of Bartlett’s DPU 1 and probe 2 as constituting together the claimed “probe” is unreasonable. See Engel Indus., Inc. v. Lockformer Co., 96 F.3d 1398, 1404—05 (Fed. Cir. 1996) (construing separate claim terms as reciting separate structures).

Silence in the Specification does not meet the written description requirement for a negative limitation. The Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit has determined that an express intent to confer on the claim language the novel meaning imparted by the negative limitation is required, such as an express disclaimer or independent lexicography in the written description that provides support for the negative limitation.
