 Appellants rely on the Specification describing “the claimed patterns as ‘vectors’ where a sequence of zeros and ones indicates whether a frame is dropped in that pattern.” Reply Br. 5. But such vectors “are all couched in terms of specific embodiments, not general requirements of the invention.” Veritas Techs. LLC v. Veeam Software Corp., 835 F.3d 1406, 1412 (Fed. Cir. 2016). “[Although the specification often describes very specific embodiments of the invention, we have repeatedly warned against confining the claims to those embodiments.” Phillips v. AWH Corp., 415 F.3d 1303, 1323 (Fed. Cir. 2005) (en banc).
