Meant it in the sense of, you are defendant in patent lawsuit, and can show within your patent holdings, prior art related to plaintiff's infringement case.
Probably worded wrong, I'm not patent expert.

Sure but my point is that you don't need the prior art to be in your own patent porfolio, or even in a patent. You just need to show that the patent in question has prior art of any kind.
- bproper 15y agoRight, but given the labyrinthine nature and colossal volume of software patents created over last decade, having your own trove and a team of lawyers to pore over them is best chance at catching prior art.
