Although extrinsic evidence will not substitute for a basic enabling disclosure, it can be used to show what was well known in the art or prove that undue experimentation was not required. See ALZA Corp. v. Andrx Pharm., LLC, 603 F.3d 935, 940 (Fed.Cir.2010) (“the rule that a specification need not disclose what is well known in the art is merely a rule of supplementation, not a substitute for a basic enabling disclosure.”); In re Strahilevitz, 668 F.2d 1229, 1232 (Fed. Cir. 1982) (finding that the appellant properly relied on literature citations to establish both the level of ordinary skill in the art and the fact that the techniques necessary to practice his invention were known in the art.); In re Wands, 858 F.2d 731, 737 (Fed. Cir. 1988) (holding that declaratory evidence showing experimentation was not undue effectively rebutted the examiner’s enablement challenge).

“[T]o be enabling, the specification of a patent must teach those skilled in the art how to make and use the full scope of the claimed invention without ‘undue experimentation.’” In re Wright, 999 F.2d 1557, 1561 (Fed. Cir. 1993)). “Whether undue experimentation is needed is not a single, simple factual determination, but rather is a conclusion reached by weighing many factual considerations.” In re Wands, 858 F.2d 731, 737 (Fed. Cir. 1988). The court in Wands set forth a number of factors to consider, i.e., (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. Id. Although the Examiner need not review all the Wands factors as they are illustrative, not mandatory, the Examiner must “advance acceptable reasoning inconsistent with enablement.” In re Strahilevitz, 668 F.2d 1229, 1232 (CCPA 1982); Amgen, Inc. v. Chugai Pharm. Co., 927 F.2d 1200, 1213 (Fed.Cir.1991).
Here, the only evidence the Examiner relies upon is the breath of the claim as encompassing impossible or at least improbable chemical entities. But a statement that the claims are broad and encompass inoperative embodiments does not establish lack of enablement unless it is clear that the
experimentation needed to arrive at the usable zirconium/hafnium silicates within the formula was more than routine. The Examiner has not established that the experimentation needed was not routine, but undue.
We do not sustain the Examiner’s rejection under 35 U.S.C. § 112 ¶ 1 for lack of enablement.

The initial question is whether the Examiner has advanced acceptable reasoning inconsistent with enablement such that the Examiner’s burden of proof is met. In re Strahilevitz, 668 F.2d 1229, 1232 (Fed. Cir. 1982). Once this burden is met, the burden shifts to Appellant to show that one of ordinary skill in the art could have practiced the claimed invention without undue experimentation. Id.
