GALIMBERTI et al. V. ASANUMA et al. - Page 28




            Interference No. 103,303                                                                  


                  To the extent that the party Galimberti et al. argues the                           
            lack of detail in Example 3 of Asanuma et al.'s specification,                            
            the argument is not considered relevant, since the Asanuma et                             
            al. application disclosure is presumed to comply with the                                 
            provisions of 35 U.S.C. § 112, first paragraph, with respect                              
            to enablement and written description, especially where the                               
            party Galimberti et al. filed no preliminary motion attacking                             
            the sufficiency of the disclosure.  As we noted above, it is                              
            settled that a patent does not have to be as detailed as a set                            
            of production specifications to meet the enablement                                       
            requirements of 35 U.S.C. § 112.  Trio Process Corp. v. L.                                
            Goldstein's Sons, Inc., 461 F.2d at 74, 174 USPQ at 134.                                  
                  For the foregoing reasons, we hold that the party                                   
            Galimberti et al. has not sustained its burden to show that an                            
            interference-in-fact does not exist.                                                      
                                       WRITTEN DESCRIPTION                                            
                  Since we have held that an interference-in-fact exists,                             
            it is not necessary for us to determine whether the party                                 
            Galimberti et al.'s specification contains a written                                      
            description for the limitation "the difference between the                                
            amount of comonomer present in the gas phase and the amount of                            
            comonomer in said composition is between 13% to 23% less in                               

                                                -28-
