We understand the Appellant to be arguing that Okamoto does not provide an enabling disclosure for a composition that satisfies the formula in paragraph 4 of Okamoto (i.e., α > 1). In re Antor Media Corp., 689 F.3d 1282, 1287 (Fed. Cir. 2012) (“A prior art reference cannot anticipate a claimed invention ‘if the allegedly anticipatory disclosures cited as prior art are not enabled.’” (quoting Amgen Inc. v. Hoechst Marion Roussel, Inc., 314 F.3d 1313, 1354 (Fed. Cir. 2003))). The Appellant, not the Examiner, bears the burden of showing nonenablement. Antor Media, 689 F.3d at 1289.

Appellant's arguments also are predicated improperly on the steps of the method being preformed in the order recited in the claims (i.e., "subsequently restoring," "then restoring"). "[A]s a general rule[, a] claim is not limited to performance of the steps in the order recited, unless the claim explicitly or implicitly requires a specific order." Baldwin Graphic Sys. Inc. v. Siebert, Inc., 512 F.3d 1338, 1345 (citing Interactive Gift Express, Inc. v. Compuserve Inc., 256 F.3d 1323, 1342-43 (Fed, Cir. 2001)).
