2016 (Gyo-Ke) 10146 [Method for Preparing Antibodies … Derivatives with Low Core Fucosylation] <Shimizu>
*A substantial number of examples ⇒ Enablement requirement satisfied
(Excerpt from the court's reasoning)
Even if, as the plaintiff argues, differences in the chemical structures of fucose analogs produce different biological activities, the detailed description in the specification substantiates inhibition of core fucosylation for a substantial number of fucose analogs, and there is no apparent reason to deny this for the other fucose analogs recited in claim 1. It is therefore appropriate to find that the invention can be practiced across its entire scope.
Translator’s notes (editorial)
The source title is truncated after the judge’s name without its closing angle bracket; retained.
