                    Application No. 09/964,412                                                                                                

                             In our view, the examiner has not established that the claimed methods                                           
                    would have required experimentation beyond that considered routine in the field                                           
                    of antisense therapy.  Thus, we conclude that the examiner has not shown that                                             
                    the amount of experimentation required to practice the claimed invention would                                            
                    have been considered undue by those skilled in the art of antisense methods.

                    enablement is reversed.
