Idenix Pharmaceuticals LLC v. Gilead Sciences, Inc.

 
DOCKET NO.
OP. BELOW
SUBJECT
Patent

Question(s) Presented

1. “Whether, as the Federal Circuit has held, a genus claim is not enabled ‘as a matter of law’ if it encompasses a large number of compounds—or whether, as this Court has recognized, enablement is a context-specific jury question.”

2. “Whether, as the Federal Circuit has held, § 112(a) contains a separate ‘possession’ requirement—or whether, as the statute provides, § 112(a) sets forth a single substantive requirement of ‘a written description of the invention’ sufficient ‘to enable any person skilled in the art … to make and use the same.’”
