While the scope of claim 1 may be broad enough to encompass an embodiment in which the oil level is below the top of the metal plate, that possibility does not render the claim itself inoperable. See Atlas Powder Co. v. E.I. du Pont de Nemours & Co., 750 F.2d 1569, 1576 (Fed. Cir. 1984) (“Even if some of the claimed combinations were inoperative, the claims are not necessarily invalid. It is not a function of the claims to specifically exclude possible inoperative substances.” (internal quotation marks and alterations omitted)). ...

Therefore, one of ordinary skill in the art likely would not have interpreted the claim to encompass that embodiment. See AIA Eng’g Ltd. V. Magotteaux Int’l S/A, 657 F.3d 1264, 1278 (Fed. Cir. 2011)(“a construction that renders the claimed invention inoperable should be viewed with extreme skepticism”).

Even if some of the claimed combinations were inoperative, the claims are not necessarily invalid.

Accordingly, it is “well settled that patent applicants are not required to disclose every species encompassed by their claims, even in an unpredictable art.” In re Vaeck, 947 F.2d 488, 496 (Fed. Cir. 1991).

For example, in Falkner v. Inglis, the court affirmed the conclusion of the Board of Patent Appeals and Interferences that claims to a modified pox virus vaccine were enabled, despite the fact that the specification focused on viruses other than pox virus, provided no examples directed to pox virus, and discussed pox virus only in general terms relating to the inventive disclosure. Falkner v. Inglis, 448 F.3d 1357, 1365 (Fed. Cir. 2006).

Vaeck, In re, 947 F.2d 448, 20 USPQ2d 1438 (Fed. Cir. 1991) 2107.01, 2144.08, 2164.01, 2164.01(c), 2164.03, 2164.06(b), 2164.08

Falkner v. Inglis, 448 F.3d 1357, 79 USPQ2d 1001 (Fed. Cir. 2006) 2163

However, it is well settled that a claim does not lack enablement merely because it encompasses inoperative embodiments. See Atlas Powder Co. v. E.I. du Pont De Nemours & Co., 750 F.2d 1569, 1576 (Fed. Cir. 1984); see also In re Angstadt, 537 F.2d 498 (CCPA 1976).
