"The scope of enablement ... is that which is disclosed in the specification plus the scope of what would be known to one of ordinary skill in the art without undue experimentation." National Recovery Technols. Inc. v. Magnetic Separation Sys., Inc., 166 F.3d 1190, 1196 (Fed. Cir. 1999). 

However, "[t]ossing out the mere germ of an idea does not constitute enabling disclosure." Genentech Inc. v. Novo NordiskA/S, 108 F.3d 1361, 1366 (Fed. Cir. 1997). Instead, " [w]hile every aspect of a generic claim certainly need not have been carried out by an inventor, or exemplified in the specification, reasonable detail must be provided in order to enable members of the public to understand and carry out the invention."

This evidence deserves at least some weight and should have been weighed with the other evidence of record. Cf. In re Alton, 76 F.3d 1168, 1173-74 (Fed. Cir. 1996) (holding as error the failure to consider declaration evidence concerning questions of fact, and the summary dismissal, without adequate explanation, of the declaration as rebuttal evidence.). The Declaration need not prove that all contractors skilled in the art would have not found the method obvious.
