Appellants contend that "if the invention is only limited to the method of forming an explant that expresses insulin in Xenopus, as suggested by the Examiner, it would defeat the purpose of the invention because it would limit the treatment of diabetes to Xenopus frogs" (App. Br. 23).

We do not find this argument persuasive because a "patent is not a hunting license. It is not a reward for the search, but compensation for its successful conclusion." Brenner v. Manson, 86 S. Ct. 1033, 1042 (1966).
