That is not the law. As explained in In re Brana, 51 F.3d 1560, 1567 (Fed. Cir. 1995), the USPTO should not confuse "the requirements under the law for obtaining a patent with the requirements for obtaining government approval to market a particular drug for human consumption." The Brana court held that "[u]sefulness in patent law, and in particular in the context of pharmaceutical inventions, necessarily includes the expectation of further research and development. The stage at which an invention in this field becomes useful is well before it is ready to be administered to humans" Id. at 1568.
