This is explained again in Prior art. Someone should take care of it...

Contradiction

The given example, added by User:65.110.29.163 and wikified by me, reports a first-to-file case in the United States, while the United States has a first-to-invent system. I am not sure whether the example is wrongly interpreted or whether the U.S. had not a first-to-invent system back in 1876. --Edcolins 08:59, September 7, 2005 (UTC)

According to Alexander Graham Bell "Bell got the patent because of the doctrine used" and oversimplification and wrong. 68.39.174.238 01:25, 16 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Merge

As discussed at Talk:Patent I have merged first to invent and first to file, and arbitrarily put the resulting article here. I'm not convinced that this is the right place for it though, but cannot think of a suitable article name. Any ideas? I'm sure the article also needs substantial work.

errors in article

I rewrote this article to correct the numerous errors in the original article. I have also cited to the Manual of Patent Examining Procedure to support my statements (the original articled lacked any support whatsoever). The Example in the original article was also wrong and failed to properly apply U.S. law. The MPEP is not an authoritative source (like a treatise or Federal Circuit case), but it can be easily accessed by all (unlike many reported cases which require Westlaw or Lexis access).

The example doesnt describe...

The example doesn't describe if Tweety is immune to a patent filed by Tom or Jerry. Is it the case that because Tweety didn't file for patent, she does not recieve the patent, however because she concieved the idea earlier, no one can patent the idea? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.202.89.125 (talk) 17:41, 22 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
