Appeal No. 95-2244
Application 08/036,648
the first paragraph of 35 U.S.C. § 112 requires nothing more
than objective enablement. In re Marzocchi, 439 F.2d at 223,
169 USPQ at 369. How such a teaching is set forth, whether by
the use of illustrative examples or by broad descriptive
terminology, is of no importance since a specification which
teaches how to make and use the invention in terms which
correspond in scope to the claims must be taken as complying
with the first paragraph of 35 U.S.C. § 112 unless there is
reason to doubt the objective truth of the statements relied
upon therein for enabling support. Id.
In the instant case, mere resort to appellants'
disclosure cited by the examiner in her Answer establishes
that appellants' disclosure satisfies the enablement
requirement of 35 U.S.C.
§ 112, first paragraph. Specifically, appellants' disclosure
provides: a narrative description of useful materials; amounts
of materials to be used; an exhaustive listing of exemplary
materials; specific examples of the invention; comparative
examples and more. Nothing in this record provides any
evidence for why there is any reason to doubt the objective
truth of appellants' statements.
