EDITORS NOTE: The US Supreme Court has issued its decision on the
topic, so as the court of last resort in Australia issues its decision on
the topic and the law around the world is not uniform. Further, law is
always in flux and even the US Supreme Court can revisit an issue and
change its pronouncement of the law. The article is still a worthwhile
read.

Patents: H. Hoffenberg, The Federal Circuit
Strikes Again in EnzoBiochem: The Latest on the
Written Description Requirement for Valid BioTech
Patents, IP Today, vol. 9, No. 6 (June, 2002) p. 6 (Decision reversed;
nonetheless, the article is still instructive)
EDITORS NOTE: On
October 5, 2017, the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal
Circuit made its latest pronouncement on the requirements for claiming in
a patent a genus in a case styled Amgen v. Sanofi. More particular, the Amgen
court addressed claiming a genus of monoclonal antibodies. This latest
decision revives written description law from Enzo Biochem
I and makes the foregoing article a valuable read, bearing in mind that
in Enzo Biochem II the court held that
depositing a sample of a monoclonal antibody with a repository could
satisfy the written description requirement for that species of antibody.

The article pertained to the
decision of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit in Syngenta
Crop Prot., LLC v. Willowood, LLC,
2019 U.S. App. LEXIS 37411 (Dec. 18, 2019). Typically, patent
infringement is prosecuted under 35 USC Section 271(a). In an issue of
first impression, the Syngenta court held that patent infringement
prosecuted as a violation of 35 USC Section 271(g) was applicable to both
imported and domestic goods, that Section 271(g) focused upon a product made by a process (i.e., not the process) and accordingly,
divided infringement was inapplicable. Hence, an end run around the
obstacle of divided patent infringement.
