It has been held that the in vitro screening for compounds that exhibit a pharmacological activity “may establish a practical utility for the compound in question” because “[s]uccessful in vitro testing will marshal resources and direct the expenditure of effort to further in vivo testing of the most potent compounds, thereby providing an immediate benefit to the public, analogous to the benefit provided by the showing of an in vivo utility.” Cross v. Iizuka, 753 F.2d 1040, 1051 (Fed. Cir. 1985); see also Nelson v. Bowler, 626 F.2d 853, 856 (CCPA 1980) (“[T]ests evidencing pharmacological activity may manifest a practical utility even though they may not establish a specific therapeutic use.”).
