As noted in Amgen, Inc. v. Hoechst Marion Roussel, Inc., 314 F.3d 1313, 1334 (Fed. Cir. 2003):

The enablement requirement is often more indulgent than the written description requirement. The specification need not explicitly teach those in the art to make and use the invention; the requirement is satisfied if, given what they already know, the specification teaches those in the art enough that they can make and use the invention without “undue experimentation.”

Amgen, Inc. v. Hoechst Marion Roussel, Inc., 126 F. Supp. 2d 69, 57 USPQ2d 1449 (D. Mass. 2001) 706.04

cf. Ex parte Levengood, 28 USPQ2d 1300, 1301-02 (BPAI 1993) (“At best, the examiner’s comments regarding obviousness amount to an assertion that one of ordinary skill in the relevant art would have been able to arrive at appellant’s invention because he had the necessary skills to carry out the requisite process steps. This is an inappropriate standard for obviousness. . . . That which is within the capabilities of one skilled in the art is not synonymous with obviousness.” (citation omitted)).
