To the extent that there would be some unpredictability in any particular altered antibody sequence, 

it is almost always possible to so construe a claim as to have it read on inoperative embodiments. . . . , but the alternative of requiring an applicant to be so specific in his claims “as to exclude materials known to be inoperative and [which] even those not skilled in the art would not try” would result in claims which would fail to comply with 35 U.S.C. § 112, second paragraph, because they would be so detailed as to obscure, rather than to particularly point out and distinctly claim, the invention.

Product-by-process claims are generally not limited by the process used to make the product.  In re Thorpe, 777 F.2d 695, 698 (Fed. Cir. 1985).  However, the structure implied by the process steps should be considered when assessing the patentability of product-by-process claims over the prior art where the manufacturing process steps would be expected to impart distinctive structural characteristics to the final product.  See, e.g., In re Garnero, 412 F.2d 276, 279 (CCPA 1969).

Autogiro Co. of Am. v. U.S., 384 F.2d 391 (Ct. Cl. 1967) ... Appellant quotes Autogiro: “In those instances where a visual representation can flesh out words, drawings may be used in the same manner and with the same limitations as the specification.”  Appeal Br. 4 (quoting Autogiro, 384 F.2d at 398).  However, in the case before us, Figures 3, 4, and 5 are not “fleshing out” words.  Instead, Appellant seeks to substitute each of these figures for all the descriptive words regarding the hollow interior’s size in relation to the outer circumference of the pipeshaped electrode body.  Autogiro does not support Appellant’s position.

Appellant cites, inter alia, Dynamic Drinkware, LLC v. Nat’l Graphics, Inc., 800 F.3d 1375 (Fed. Cir. 2015). See Reply Br. 29. We find Dynamic Drinkware, and the subsequent Amgen Inc. v. Sanofi, 872 F.3d 1367 (Fed. Cir. 2017), to be controlling on this issue.

In Dynamic Drinkware, a review of the Board’s decision in an inter partes review, the Federal Circuit held that the party having the burden of proof, there the petitioner, but here the Examiner, must prove that a prior art patent is entitled to priority to its provisional application under § 119(e), if such provisional date is necessary to establish that the patent is indeed prior art. Dynamic Drinkware, 800 F.3d at 1380. To establish such priority, the Federal Circuit held that the claims of the asserted prior art patent must be compared to the disclosure of the provisional because “[a] reference patent is only entitled to claim the benefit of the filing date of its provisional application if the disclosure of the provisional application provides support for the claims in the reference patent in compliance with § 112, ¶ 1.” Id. at 1381 (emphasis added). Here, Doudna is not a patent, but is a published application. However, in Amgen the Federal Circuit confirmed that the Dynamic Drinkware enablement and written description analysis must also be applied to published applications, such that a comparison must be made between the disclosure of the related provisional(s) and the claims of the published application to establish that the published application is prior art as of its provisional’s filing date. Amgen, 872 F.3d at 1380 (citing Dynamic Drinkware, 800 F.3d at 1378). Although the Office has indicated that it follows these requirements of Dynamic Drinkware when determining whether a reference qualifies as prior art under pre-AIA 35 U.S.C. § 102(e), the MPEP is silent with respect to whether these requirements are applicable to § 102 as amended by the AIA.

For purposes of this decision, we understand that the requirements of Dynamic Drinkware and Amgen apply here.
