We do not agree Appellants’ Specification defines the term “story arc” in a manner that conforms to the strict “words or expressions of manifest exclusion or restriction” requirement articulated by the Federal Circuit in Teleflex, Inc. v. Ficosa N. Am. Corp., 299 F.3d 1313, 1327 (Fed. Cir. 2002). Instead, the cited portion of the Specification uses non-limiting language to describe term “story arc.” We construe “story arc” in accordance with the extrinsic definition presented by Appellants, i.e., a subplot, underlying a plot, which moves a character or situation from one state to another throughout the story.
