REVERSED
Tech Center 1600 Biotechnology and Organic Chemistry
1618 Ex Parte Gibson et al 15418304 - (D) GRIMES 103 K&L Gates LLP-Chicago DICKINSON, PAUL W

We agree with Appellants that In re Baird, 16 F.3d 380 (Fed. Cir. 1994), is instructive here. In Baird, the claim was directed to a composition comprising a bisphenol A polyester containing an aliphatic dicarboxylic acid selected from succinic acid, glutaric acid, or adipic acid. Id. at 381. The cited reference disclosed esters of a dicarboxylic acid and any one of a genus of diphenols corresponding to a particular formula. Id. 

The prior art formula encompassed bisphenol A. Id. at 382. However, "[t]he fact that a claimed compound may be encompassed by a disclosed generic formula does not by itself render that compound obvious." Id. The court concluded that, " [ w ]hile the [prior art] formula unquestionably encompasses bisphenol A when specific variables are chosen, there is nothing in the disclosure of [ the prior art] suggesting that one should select such variables." Id. 

Baird, In re, 16 F.3d 380, 29 USPQ2d 1550 (Fed. Cir. 1994) 2144.05 2144.08 2163
