With respect to Appellant's first argument, we are unpersuaded that a terminal disclaimer should not be required because Appellant's claims, if allowed, would expire before those of the reference patents. An improper timewise extension is only one of the justifications for ODP doctrine. Another "rationale is to prevent multiple infringement suits by different assignees asserting essentially the same patented invention." In re Hubbell, 709 F.3d 1140, 1145 (Fed. Cir. 2013). For this reason, the Office's regulation requires that terminal disclaimers filed to obviate an ODP rejection include "a provision that any patent granted on that application ... shall be enforceable only for and during such period that said patent is commonly owned with the application or patent which formed the basis for the judicially created double patenting." 37 C.F.R § 1.32 l(c )(3) ( emphasis added). By tying enforceability to continued common ownership, the regulation mitigates against the risk of multiple, essentially redundant, lawsuits thereby supporting this rationale for ODP doctrine.

We are guided by the principle that the claimed subject matter must be disclosed in the reference with sufficient specificity in order to constitute an anticipation. Atofina v. Great Lakes Chem. Corp, 441 F.3d 991, 999 (Fed. Cir. 2006) ("Atofina"). In the Atofina case, neither a disclosure of a broad range of 100-500° C., nor a disclosure of a narrower preferred range of 150-350° C., was found to anticipate a claimed range of 330-450° C., despite the former range fully encompassing the claimed range and the latter range having a degree of overlap with the claimed range.
