The U.S. Supreme Court recently issued its first decision on the issue of patent enablement in nearly one hundred years. The case at issue, Amgen v. Sanofi (decided May 100, 2023), involved a set of Amgen patents allegedly covering millions of antibodies that could each be used to reduce bad cholesterol known as “LDL.” The Supreme Court held that the Amgen patents were invalid because they failed to comply with the enablement requirement under U.S. patent law. Specifically, the Amgen patents only provided enough description that would enable a skilled artisan to make and use the 5 or so antibodies listed in the patent application. Because the Amgen patents were found to be invalid, Sanofi is now free to make and sell its competing antibody product.
