“‘There is presumed to be a difference in meaning and scope when different words or phrases are used in separate claims. To the extent that the absence of such difference in meaning and scope would make a claim superfluous, the doctrine of claim differentiation states the presumption that the difference between claims is significant.’ ‘Where some claims are broad and others narrow, the narrow claim limitations cannot be read into the broad whether to avoid invalidity or to escape infringement.’” United States v. Telectronics Inc., 857 F.2d 778, 783–84 (Fed. Cir. 1988) (citations omitted).

In response to the Examiner’s position that “nowhere in the present application specification has cited the phrases ‘the suction nozzle is not melted by arc heat,’” (Ans. 5) (emphasis omitted), the Specification need not describe the invention ipsis verbis in order to meet the written description requirement (see Martin v. Johnson, 454 F.2d 746, 751 (CCPA 1972)). We agree with Appellant that at least paragraphs 25, 59, and 61 provide sufficient written description support.
