 The preceding code demonstrates the [*positional pattern*](../../language-reference/operators/patterns.md#positional-pattern) where the properties are deconstructed for the expression.
 
+You can also match a property against `{ }`, which matches any non-null value. Consider the following declaration, which stores measurements with an optional annotation:
+
+:::code language="csharp" source="snippets/patterns/Program.cs" ID="Observation":::
+
+You can test if a given observation has a non-null annotation using the following pattern matching expression:

 ## List patterns
 
 You can check elements in a list or an array using a *list pattern*. A [list pattern](../../language-reference/operators/patterns.md#list-patterns) provides a means to apply a pattern to any element of a sequence. In addition, you can apply the *discard pattern* (`_`) to match any element, or apply a *slice pattern* to match zero or more elements.
