1627 Ex Parte Richards 12292960 - (D) ADAMS 103 FOLEY AND LARDNER LLP KANTAMNENI, SHOBHA

We do not agree with the Examiner’s reasoning. First, although a reference can anticipate without a specific example directed to the claimed invention, that exception to the general rule of anticipation is a limited one. See In re Petering, 301 F.2d 676, 681-82 (CCPA 1962) (A disclosure that allows one skilled in the art to “at once envisage each member of [a] limited class” describes each member of the class “as if [the reference] had drawn each structural formula or had written each name.”). It does not apply to a situation where, as here, limitations must be selected from different parts of a reference that are not clearly associated with each other, and where a further choice must be made from among a list of numerous possible components.

Petering, In re, 301 F.2d 676, 133 USPQ 275 (CCPA 1962) 2131.02, 2131.03, 2144.08
