35 USC 102(a) - The Heart of Prior Art

When most people think of prior art, they are thinking of 35 USC 102(a), acts of others before the invention date against which the invention is measured. It may lack the drama of 35 USC 102(b), or the surprises of 35 USC 102(e), but it is hard to imagine patent law without it. We who know it, love it! And you will find lots of surprises among its few, well-chosen words.
