The Supreme Court will review whether the Federal Circuit panel in Amgen v. Sanofi improperly created a new and heightened test for enablement of genus claims with functional limitations. The Supreme Court declined to review Amgen's first question in the petition regarding whether enablement is a question of fact to be determined by the jury or a question of law determined by the court. Notably, the Supreme Court granted Amgen's petition for certiorari against the recommendation of the Solicitor General. Related People Cynthia B.
