              The other Koboldt testing and the Veenhuizen and Anderson               
                                       testing                                        
               We hold that the following testing by Monsanto employees               
          did not inure to the benefit of the Huang inventors:                        
               (1) the Koboldt testing of SC-60246, SC-60247,                         
          SC-60248, SC-60667, and SC-60668 (Exh. 2029 at ¶¶10-14);                    
               (2) the Veenhuizen testing (consisting of the in vivo                  
          testing of SC-60246, SC-60247, SC-60248, SC-60667, and SC-                  
          60668) (Exh. 2044 at ¶¶6-10); and                                           
               (3) the Anderson testing (consisting of the in vivo                    
          testing of SC-60668) (Exh. 2048 at ¶6).                                     
               However, even if the above testing did inure to the                    
          benefit of the Huang inventors, we hold that Huang has not                  
          shown that the testing established a practical utility for the              
          tested compound.  The Koboldt testimony regarding the testing               
          of SC-60246, SC-60247, SC-60248, SC-60667, or SC-60668 suffers              
          from the same deficiencies as the Koboldt testimony regarding               
          her testing of SC-58394.  The testing by Monsanto employees                 
          Veenhuizen and Anderson was directed to an in vivo utility;                 
          however, the testimony provided by the employees regarding the              
          testing lacks an adequate explanation and interpretation of                 
          the results obtained.  Each of the Monsanto employees drew the              
          same conclusion regarding each compound tested (i.e., that
