We understand the Appellant to be arguing that Okamoto does not provide an enabling disclosure for a composition that satisfies the formula in paragraph 4 of Okamoto (i.e., α > 1). In re Antor Media Corp., 689 F.3d 1282, 1287 (Fed. Cir. 2012) (“A prior art reference cannot anticipate a claimed invention ‘if the allegedly anticipatory disclosures cited as prior art are not enabled.’” (quoting Amgen Inc. v. Hoechst Marion Roussel, Inc., 314 F.3d 1313, 1354 (Fed. Cir. 2003))). The Appellant, not the Examiner, bears the burden of showing nonenablement. Antor Media, 689 F.3d at 1289.

To be considered in an obviousness analysis the art must be analogous “prior art” which means the prior art must be in either the same field of Appellants’ endeavor or reasonably pertinent to Appellants’ problem. In re Clay, 966 F.2d 656, 659 (Fed. Cir. 1992). Whether a prior art reference is “analogous” is a question of fact. Id. at 658. The Examiner has not explained why one of ordinary skill in the art would have considered Parmater’s exercise device providing adjustable head resistance as being in the same field of endeavor as Appellants’ apparatus.

The Examiner is correct that the prior art printed publications Roucka and Jorgenson are presumptively enabling. In re Antor Media Corp., 689 F.3d 1282, 1288 (Fed. Cir. 2012). However, when an applicant challenges enablement of a reference, applicant's evidence and argument must be thoroughly reviewed to determine if the reference is enabling. Id., 689 F.3d at 1292.

The term “enhanced” is a word of degree, and “when a word of degree is used [a court] must determine
whether the patent’s specification provides some standard for measuring that degree.” Datamize, LLC v. Plumtree Software, Inc., 417 F.3d 1342, 1351 (Fed. Cir. 2005) (quoting Seattle Box Co., Inc. v. Indus. Crating & Packing, Inc., 731 F.2d 818, 826 (Fed. Cir. 1984)). ... Thus, an unrestrained, subjective construction of “strands having enhanced gripping properties” “would not notify the public of the
patentee’s right to exclude since the meaning of the claim language would depend on the unpredictable vagaries of any one person’s opinion . . . . While beauty is in the eye of the beholder, a claim term, to be definite, requires an objective anchor.” Datamize, 417 F.3d at 1350.

Although not expressly stated as such, Appellant’s argument amounts to an assertion that the composition described in Hajmrle and relied upon by the Examiner is not enabled. A printed publication cited by an examiner is presumed enabled unless barring any showing to the contrary by a patent applicant. In re Morsa, 713 F.3d 104, 109 (Fed. Cir. 2013) (quoting In re Antor Media Corp., 689 F.3d 1282, 1288 (Fed. Cir. 2012)). Where, as here, an applicant has challenged the enablement of a cited reference, we must review all evidence and applicant argument to determine if the prior art reference is enabling.

Providing evidence that is commensurate in scope with the claims

does not mean that an applicant is required to test every embodiment within the scope of his or her claims. If an applicant demonstrates that an embodiment has an unexpected result and provides an adequate basis to support the conclusion that other embodiments falling within the claim will behave in the same manner, this will generally establish that the evidence is commensurate with [the] scope of the claims.

Our reviewing court has on several prior occasions interpreted the term “integral” to cover more than a unitary construction. See, e.g., In re Dike, 394 F.2d 584, 589, (CCPA 1968) and Advanced Cardiovascular Sys. v. Scimed Life Sys., 887 F.2d 1070, 1074 (Fed.Cir.1989) (nothing of record limited “integral” to mean “of one-piece” construction).

Lastly, we note that the Examiner’s “continuous” process holding is consistent with applicable precedent, including In re Di[l]not, 319 F.2d 188, 194 (CCPA 1963)(cited by the Examiner—Answer, page 6.). See also In re Korpi, 160 F.2d 564,566 (CCPA 1947) (case in which it was held to be obvious to convert batch process into continuous process) and In re Lincoln, 126 F.2d 477, 479 (CCPA 1942).

We have considered applicant’s remaining arguments and find none that warrant reversal of the Examiner’s rejections. Cf In re Antor Media Corp. 12 F.3d ___, ___, 2012 WL 3055928, 103 USPQ2d 1555, 1563 (Fed. Cir. 2012).
