In sum, the claims before us merely inform the relevant audience of certain laws of nature: specifically, the relationship between the amount of rDNA and the number of cells from which rDNA has been obtained. See Genetic Techs. Ltd. v. Merial L.L.C., 818 F.3d 1369, 1379—80 (Fed. Cir. 2016), cert, denied, (U.S. Oct. 3, 2016) (finding claims unpatentable under § 101 where, “the novelty of looking to non-coding DNA to detect a coding region allele of interest resides in the novelty of the newly discovered natural law of linkage disequilibrium between coding and non-coding regions and adds little more than a restatement of the natural law itself’).

We are aware of no legal authority requiring that a specification enable a final product when a claim is directed to a transitory product. Rather, the Manual of Patent Examining Procedure (“MPEP”) instructs that “for unstable and transitory chemical intermediates, the ‘how to make’ requirement [of 35 U.S.C. § 112, first paragraph] does not require that the applicant teach how to make the claimed product in stable, permanent or isolatable form.” MPEP § 2164.01(b) (9th ed.) (July 2015 revision) (citing In re Breslow, 616 F.2d 516, 521 (CCPA 1980) (reversing rejections under 35 U.S.C. §§ 101 and 112, first paragraph, for lack of enablement and holding that chemical intermediates are patentable compositions of matter under § 101 even if they are “transitory, unstable, and non-isolatable”). 
...

In this case, as in Breslow, the claimed golf ball cover, while temporary, does exist.  Breslow, 616 F.2d at 518, 521 (the court noting that in the enablement rejection, the board “was too literal about the need for the artisan to be in possession of the claimed compounds in the sense of hold them for a time in his hands in a ‘reasonable stable’ form”)
