According to the Examiner, Novozymes A/S v. DuPont Nutrition Biosciences APS, 723 F.3d 1336 (Fed. Cir. 2013) requires Appellants to have "confirmed their predictions through individual variants or subclasses of variants expected to possess the claimed properties" in order to meet the written description requirement. (Id.) ...

"It is not necessary that every permutation within a generally operable invention be effective in order for an inventor to obtain a generic claim," Capon v Eshhar, 418 F.3d 1349, 1359 (Fed. Cir. 2005). We conclude that in light of the state of the art, and the knowledge of one of skill in the art, as well as the variety of examples made by Appellants, that there is a preponderance of evidence establishing that Appellants' 18 clones are a representative number of species of the claimed genus of modified Taq DNA polymerases.

The test of double patenting is whether differences between inventions claimed in the instant application and in the copending reference application are such that subject matter sought to be patented would have been obvious to one of ordinary skill in the art, in view of any prior art additionally relied on In re Wetterau, 356 F.2d 556, 558 (CCPA 1966).

As an initial matter, although the Examiner did not proffer a claim construction, claim construction is an issue of law that is left for a court or a tribunal. "[W]hen the district court reviews only evidence intrinsic to the patent (the patent claims and specifications, along with the patent's prosecution history), the judge's determination will amount solely to a determination of law." Teva Pharms. USA, Inc. v. Sandoz, Inc., 135 S. Ct. 831, 841 (2015). "[T]he ultimate issue of the proper construction of a claim should be treated as a question of law." Id. at 838.

We construe claim terms according to their broadest reasonable construction in light of the specification of the patent or application in which they appear. In re Bigio, 381 F.3d 1320, 1324 (Fed. Cir. 2004).

Bigio, In re, 381 F.3d 1320, 72 USPQ2d 1209 (Fed. Cir. 2004) 2141.01(a) , 2173.01
