REVERSED
The disclosure of a genus
does not necessarily implicitly describe every subgenus encompassed by that genus. In re Smith, 458 F.2d 1389, 1395 (CCPA 1972). Ruschig explained
this standard in the written description context by analogizing a genus and
its constituent species to a forest and its trees, noting that,
It is an old custom in the woods to mark trails by making blaze
marks on the trees. It is no help in finding a trail . . . to be
confronted simply by a large number of unmarked trees.
Appellants are pointing to trees. We are looking for blaze
marks which single out particular trees. We see none.
In re Ruschig, 379 F.2d 990, 994–95 (1967). As Appellant correctly notes,
the Examiner has not provided any blaze marks directing the ordinary artisan
to select either the elected species or compounds within the scope of the
instant claim 1.
