See Centocor Ortho Biotech, Inc. v. Abbott Laboratories, 636 F.3d 1341, 1352 (Fed. Cir. 2011) (“Claiming antibodies with specific properties, e.g., an antibody that binds to human TNF-α with A2 specificity, can result in a claim that does not meet [the] written description [requirement] even if the human TNF-α protein is disclosed because antibodies with those properties have not been adequately described”).

In Centocor, the Court addressed Example 13 of the USPTO written description guidelines. The Court found that the “PTO guidelines conclude that characterization of the protein alone may be sufficient under circumstances where 'one of skill in the art would have recognized that the disclosure of the adequately described [protein] X put the applicant in possession of antibodies which bind to [protein] X.'” Centocor Ortho Biotech, Inc. v. Abbott Laboratories, 636 F.3d 1341, 1351 (Fed. Cir 2011).

Centocor distinguished the USPTO written description guideline situation, where the claim simply required binding an antigen, from the more complicated situation where specific properties beyond simply binding of antigen by the antibody are required. Id. at 1352.

We also are not persuaded by Appellant‟s reliance on Doyle. Doyle found that the case involved “a matter of first impression: whether failure to present a so-called linking claim, a claim broad enough to read on—or link—two or more groups of claims subject to a restriction requirement, is an error correctable by reissue” laid out by the Court of Customs and Patent Appeals. In re Doyle, 293 F.3d 1355, 1358 (Fed. Cir. 2002).

In Doyle, the Court found that

it was crucial that the applicant explicitly agreed to the requirement of independent prosecution of the disputed claims (or claims substantially similar to the disputed claims) in a divisional, and not as a part of the application directed towards the elected group. When the applicants returned in reissue seeking to add the disputed claims, the examiner, the Board, and this court rightly held them to the terms of their original agreements. The case is different where, as here, the applicant never asserted the reissue claims or anything similar to them in his original application, and also never agreed to prosecute the reissue claims in a divisional application.

Doyle, 293 F.3d at 1360. The instant facts track much more closely to Orita than to Doyle. In Doyle, there was a linking claim that was broader than all of the original claims and encompassed both groups. Id. at 1358. In this case however, no linking claim was filed.
