Close, but not quite. FTP:
This application is a continuation and claims the benefit of U.S. application Ser. No. 09/075,359, filed May 8, 1998 now abandoned, which is a continuation of U.S. application Ser. No. 08/324,443, filed Oct. 17, 1994 now U.S. Pat. No. 5,838,906, the disclosures of which are hereby incorporated by reference.
The lawyers will only see one date, and that date is 1994. Also, don't forget that there is a 1 year bar on patentability, so it is plausible that the prosecution could claim invention as early as 1993.
