If there's prior art, what's the difference if a system is first to file or first to invent?

- jhall1468 9y agoBecause prior art is a defensive patent invalidation or prevention technique. If Google doesn't file this patent a troll will, and they will aggressively sue companies (Google included). Google is doing what it has to to protect itself. Blame the system.
- beautifulfreak 9y agoThey could have cc'd Jarek Duda, and avoided the appearance of pulling a fast one on the real inventor, putting their name on someone else's homework. It just looks sleazy.
