Juno Therapeutics, Inc. v. Kite Pharma, Inc.
Petition for certiorari denied on November 7, 2022
Issue: Whether the adequacy of the “written description of [an]
invention” is measured by the statutory standard
of “in such full, clear, concise, and exact terms as to
enable any person skilled in the art to make and use
the same” in 35 U.S.C. § 112(a), or by the Federal
Circuit’s test that the “written
description of the invention” must demonstrate the
inventor’s “possession” of “the full scope of the claimed
invention” including all “known and unknown”
variations of each component.
