The Federal Circuit flatly rejected such an analysis in the context of obviousness in In re Jones, 958 F.2d 347, 350 (Fed. Cir. 1992) (“We decline to extract from Merck the rule that the Solicitor appears to suggest—that regardless of how broad, a disclosure of a chemical genus renders obvious any species that happens to fall within it.”). A reference that does not adequately support obviousness will not suffice to support a demonstration of anticipation. It is not unusual for improved properties to be discovered within a previously disclosed range of a composition.
