There are many steps in method patents and many nouns. Can you not add the word mentioned before the nouns?

the word "described" may not be added to the method patent.

The writing of claims in patent documents should adhere to the principle of conciseness and try to avoid the appearance of redundant words. The word "described" is used to refer to the noun that appeared in the previous article, and its function is to enlighten the examiner that this word is not the first time. However, this kind of revelation is not necessary, so it is ok not to add "described".
