DECISION ON APPEAL
This appeal involves claims to diamino acid derivatives. The examiner has
rejected the claims as lacking an adequate description in the specification. We have
jurisdiction under 35 U.S.C. § 134. Because those skilled in the art would have
recognized that Appellants were in possession of the claimed compounds, we reverse.
Background
The specification discloses
Nω-Carboxyalkylcarbamoyl-α,ω-diamino acids, [which are] ureins derived
from an α,ω-diamino acid, of general formula
