     This response confuses me.  If there was prior knowledge of the method
claimed to be "new" in the patent application, and such information was
publically obtainable, then the patent was improperly awarded.  It doesn't
matter whether the first user ever applied for patent protection.  What *would*
matter is whether the information was secret at the time or published (NOT
published in the normal sense, but simply "publically available" in any way).
