Appearance of a claim in the specification in ipsis verbis does not guarantee that the written description requirement is satisfied, see, e.g. Enzo Biochem, Inc. v. Gen-Probe Inc., 323 F.3d 956, 968 (Fed. Cir. 2002), nor does a failure to meet that standard require a finding that a claim does not comply with the written description requirement, In re Edwards, 568 F.2d 1349, 1351-52 (Fed. Cir. 1978).  All that is required is that the specification demonstrates, with reasonable clarity, to a person of ordinary skill in the art that the inventor was in possession of the invention.  Carnegie Mellon Univ. v. Hoffmann-La Roche Inc., 541 F.3d 1115, 1122 (Fed. Cir. 2008).
