Interference No. 103,141
18, 24 (CCPA 1970) (the first paragraph of section 112
requires that the scope of protection sought in a claim bear a
reasonable correlation to the scope of enablement provided by
the specification). Nothing more than objective enablement is
required, and therefore it is irrelevant whether this teaching
is provided through broad terminology or illustrative
examples. In re Marzocchi, 439 F.2d 220, 223, 169 USPQ
367, 369 (CCPA 1971).
The evidentiary basis for the motion for judgment
was a declaration by Kenichi Sato. Mr. Sato states that he19
regards himself as an expert in superconductor materials. ¶6.
It is
Sato’s expert opinion that a person skilled in the
superconductor materials art would not have been able to
predict, as of the filing date of the involved Jin patent,
which other oxides
identified at column 2 and in claim 14 could have been
success- fully manufactured into elongate bodies according to
19Paper No. 22.
