Now that we are in a first to file system, will that actually invalidate it?

  As long as you've documented or used the invention in public prior to the filing, I believe yes. IANAL, though. If you're trying to keep it as a trade secret you might have trouble then.

  Yes. Prior art was actually expanded with the new Act.
