To be clear, the issue is not the adequacy of the original disclosure, which is directed to persons having ordinary skill in the art. Rather, the issue is whether the record contains sufficient evidence that a non-expert reviewer can make adequate findings to draw conclusions as to the meaning of these terms to the artisan. Cf. In re Mayne, 104 F.3d 1339, 1344 (Fed. Cir. 1997) in which the Applicant tried to show unexpected results. The court held that “[e]ven were it obvious to a practitioner of the art, applicants have the burden to provide the PTO with evidence showing that such is the case.”

Mayne, In re, 104 F.3d 1339, 41 USPQ2d 1451 (Fed. Cir. 1977) 2144.09 2145
