The scope of the claims must not be broader than the scope of the enabling description in the specification. See Nat’l Recovery Tech., Inc. v. Magnetic Separation Systems, Inc., 166 F.3d 1190, 1196 (Fed. Cir. 1999). “The scope of enablement, in turn, is that which is disclosed in the specification plus the scope of what would be known to one of ordinary skill in the art without undue experimentation.” Id. (citation omitted). ...

Arts based on chemical reactions may be unpredictable. In re Fisher, 427 F.2d 833, 839 (C.C.P.A. 1970). “In cases involving unpredictable factors, such as most chemical reactions and physiological activity, the scope of enablement obviously varies inversely with the degree of unpredictability of the factors involved.” Id.

Fisher, In re, 427 F.2d 833, 166 USPQ 18 (CCPA 1970) 706.03(w) ,   2164.01(b) ,   2164.03 ,   2164.08 ,   2173.05(a) ,   2173.05(t)
