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).

Patent specifications and claims have long been said to "constitute one of the most difficult legal instruments to draw with accuracy". Topliff v. Topliff, 145 U.S. 156, 171 (1892). This difficulty does not, however, justify
careless drafting; rather, it makes basic drafting requisites such as grammar and consistency all the more vital. In creating the patent system, Congress placed the responsibility for precise, lucid drafting on the applicant. 35 U.S.C. 112; In re Morris, 127 F.3d 1048, 1056 (Fed. Cir. 1997). An applicant cannot place a burden of resolving unnecessary complexities on all subsequent readers when correction is readily available through amendment. Cf. Topliff, 145 U.S. at 171 (endorsing reissue as a cure to inevitable mistakes in claims).
