October 26, 2015

Authored and Edited by Christopher B. McKinley; Jeff T. Watson

In In re Morsa, No. 15-1107 (Fed. Cir. Oct. 19, 2015), the Federal Circuit affirmed the PTAB’s determination that an anticipating reference was enabling based on statements made in Morsa’s specification regarding the knowledge of a person of ordinary skill. An analysis of this decision can be found on Finnegan’s Federal Circuit IP Blog.
