Rather, this is a case where Appellant’s excluding emergency calls from association with application views by reciting a negative limitation effectively introduces a new concept that is not reasonably supported by the original disclosure. See, e.g.,Omega Eng’g, Inc. v. RaytekCorp., 334 F.3d 1314, 1323 (Fed. Cir. 2003) (finding no express disclaimer or independent lexicography in the written description to justify adding negative limitation);Ex parte Grasselli, 231 USPQ 393, 394 (BPAI 1983), aff'd mem., 738 F.2d 453 (Fed. Cir. 1984) (“[T]he express exclusion of certain elements implies the permissible inclusion of all other elements not so expressly excluded. This clearly illustrates that such negative limitations do, in fact, introduce new concepts.”).

A negative limitation that does not appear in the Specification as filed may “introduce new concepts and violate the description requirement of the first paragraph of 35 U.S.C. 112.” Ex parte Grasselli, 231 USPQ 393, 394 (BPAI 1983), aff’d mem. 738 F.2d 453 (Fed. Cir. 1984).

However,

[t]he notion that one who fully discloses, and teaches those skilled in the art how to make and use, a genus and numerous species therewithin, has somehow failed to disclose, and teach those skilled in the art how to make and use, that genus minus two of those species, and has thus failed to satisfy the requirements of §112, first paragraph, appears to result from a hypertechnical application of legalistic prose relating to that provision of the statute.

Application of Johnson, 558 F.2d 1008, 1019 (CCPA 1977).
