Bamberg v. Dalvey

HUGHES, Circuit Judge.

Ulf Bamberg, Peter Kummer, and Ilona Stiburek appeal from the Patent Trial and Appeal Board’s consolidated interference proceeding decision refusing to allow the claims of four patent applications because the specification failed to meet the written description requirement of 35 U.S.C. § 112. Because the Board properly construed the claims and substantial evidence supports the Board’s determination that Bamberg failed to meet the written description requirement, and because it was not an abuse of discretion to deny Bam-berg’s motion to amend, we affirm.
