The standard for determining whether the specification meets the enablement requirement was cast in the Supreme Court decision of Minerals Separation v. Hyde, 242 U.S. 261, 270 (1916) which postured the question: is the experimentation needed to practice the invention undue or unreasonable? That standard is still the one to be applied. In re Wands, 858 F.2d 731, 737 (Fed. Cir. 1988).

Determining enablement is a question of law based on underlying factual findings. In re Vaeck, 947 F.2d 488, 495 (Fed. Cir. 1991). The determination that “undue experimentation” would have been needed to make and use the claimed invention is not a single, simple factual determination. Rather, it is a conclusion that may be reached by weighing the following factual considerations: (1) the quantity of experimentation necessary, (2) the amount of direction or guidance presented, (3) the presence or absence of working examples, (4) the nature of the invention, (5) the state of the prior art, (6) the relative skill of those in the art, (7) the predictability or unpredictability of the art, and (8) the breadth of the claims. Wands at 737.

New Grounds of Rejection
Written Description: Claims 43, 47–65, and 67–69 are rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 112, first paragraph, as failing to comply with the written description requirement. ...

As correctly noted by the Examiner, independent claim 43 recites the open ended limitations of “greater than 430 W/cm” and “greater than 180 W/cm.” See Ans. 17. These limitations “do not meet the written description requirement because the phrase ‘at least’ ha[s] no upper limit and cause[s] the claim to read literally on [an] embodiment outside of” the disclosed range of values. In re Wertheim, 541 F.2d 257, 263 (CCPA 1976).

As an initial matter we note that our reviewing court’s predecessor has stated that the order in which prior art is applied in a rejection is not significant. See, for example, In re Bush, 296 F.2d 491, 496, (CCPA 1961) ("[i]n a case of this type where a rejection is predicated on two references each containing pertinent disclosure which has been pointed out to the applicant, we deem it to be a matter of no significance, but merely a matter of exposition, that the rejection is stated to be on A in view of B instead of B in view of A, or to term one reference primary and the other secondary.")
