enablement

enablement. Patents. The disclosure in a patent application; specif., the description of the subject matter clear and complete enough to teach a person with ordinary skill in the art how to make and use the invention. • If the artisan would still be unable to work the invention without undue experimentation after reading the description — in light of the information known in the art as of the filing date of the patent application — the patent application will be rejected for lack of enablement. 35 USCA § 112. Cf. NONENABLEMENT. [Cases: Patents 99. C.J.S. Patents § 139.]
