REVERSED
3685 Ex Parte Yang 11901205 - (D) MacDONALD 103 Tarolli, Sundheim, Co veil & Tummino LLP/Imagine Corporation HUANG, TSAN-YU J

3745 Ex Parte Whitehurst et al 13459748 - (D) PESLAK 112(1)/103 41.50 103 CARLSON, GASKEY & OLDS/PRATT & WHITNEY MIKUS, JASON

In order to comply with the written description requirement, the Specification “must describe the invention sufficiently to convey to a person of skill in the art that the patentee had possession of the claimed invention at the time of the application, i.e., that the patentee invented what is claimed.” LizardTech, Inc. v. Earth Resource Mapping, Inc., 424 F.3d 1336, 1345 (Fed. Cir. 2005). 

The Federal Circuit has explained that: The test for determining compliance with the written description requirement is whether the disclosure of the application as originally filed reasonably conveys to the artisan that the inventor had possession at that time of the later claimed subject matter, rather than the presence or absence of literal support in the specification for the claim language. . . . The content of the drawings may also be considered in determining compliance with the written description requirement. In re Kaslow, 707 F.2d 1366, 1375 (Fed. Cir. 1983) (citations omitted).

LizardTech, Inc. v. Earth Resource Mapping, Inc., 424 F.3d 1336, 76 USPQ2d 1724 (Fed. Cir. 2005) 2161.01 2163

Kaslow, In re, 707 F.2d 1366, 217 USPQ 1089 (Fed. Cir. 1983) 706.03(v) 2141.02 2161.01 2163.02
