The claims often cover a homology range surrounding the disclosed sequence to get a broader protection. However, homology claims face a hurdle that they may lack support by the written description. The Supreme Court of China ruled that homology claims lack support, but a further limitation by species of origin satisfies this requirement. This study explains that homology per se should have formed the essence of such disputes. Homology dictates the skilled person?s confidence on the functionality of unknown sequences, and is involved in multiple patentability requirements. Thus, the assessment of support is not an isolated matter. Disparity of different requirements creates an unclaimable gap, and constitutes a discrimination to biotechnology. An appropriate test for the support requirement is thus furnished to confer a scope of protection commensurating to the technical contribution. 606 $aBiotechnology$vPatents 606 $aPatent laws and legislation 610 $apolypeptide 610 $ahomology 610 $aAchilles Heel 610 $aBiopatents 610 $aNovozymes 610 $aChinese patent law 610 $aprotein 610 $aAegis Heel 610 $asupport requirement 610 $aDilemma of Homology 615 0$aBiotechnology 615 0$aPatent laws and legislation. 676 $a346.0486 700 $aYang$b Qinghua$0973399 801 0$bWaSeSS 801 1$bWaSeSS 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996344245703316 996 $aAegis or Achilles heel$92214547 997 $aUNISA
