True or False: There is no anticipation of a claimed product unless all process steps are disclosed in the reference.

The statement is false because anticipation in patent law does not require all process steps to be disclosed in a prior art reference for a claimed product. Anticipation is established if a single prior art reference discloses every element of a claimed invention in the same form or arrangement as the claim.

For a claimed product, it's sufficient if the reference directly discloses the product itself, regardless of whether the process used to make that product is described in detail. This is particularly relevant in situations where a product could be made via various processes, and thus, the existence of the product in prior art can anticipate a claim even if the specific method of its creation is not fully articulated.

In summary, as long as the prior art clearly describes the product, anticipation can be established, making the assertion that all process steps must be disclosed incorrect.
