	First to file and first to invent - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		First to file and first to invent are legal concepts that define who has the right to the grant of a patent for an invention.
		The first to file system is used in the majority of countries, with the notable exception of the United States, which operates a first to invent system.
		In a first to file system, the right to the grant of a patent for a given invention lies with the first person to file a patent application for protection of that invention, regardless of the date of actual invention.

	First to File
		The applicant who is the last to file a patent application (hereinafter "junior applicant") must establish by a preponderance of the evidence that the he or she has priority over the "senior applicant", i.e., the first person to file a patent application.
		The first inventor is the person who first conceived of the invention provided that he or she diligently worked to reduce the invention to practice from the moment of conception to the date of filing the patent application.
		The first-to-file system rewards the applicant who is first to file his or her patent application by granting that applicant priority of invention.

	The First File Recovery Website
		To define the term file recovery, you'll first need to know what a file is. A file is a collection of data or information that has a name, called the filename.
		The space of the file is considered in an "occupied" status until deleted.
		The term backup, in reference to computer jargon, is defined as a second copy of files you may be afraid to lose if your computer were to crash.

	Advisory: First to Invent vs. First to File
		All other countries are on a "first to file" basis, and pressure has been placed on the United States to conform.
		The first thing they do is to document their idea in a manner that establishes legal ownership as well as "priority" under patent laws—the same priority that filing for a patent provides.
		As long as the law stays as it is and protects the "first to invent," your Home Study Program gives you a way to achieve the same priority as a patent application.

		A first-to- file system also removes the ambiguity that's inherent in a first-to- invent system.
		"University inventors typically are faculty members who first publish in academic journals and later consider whether to file to obtain a patent," wrote the associations in their joint statement.
		"Before filing a patent application, universities often need time to consider the potential commercial application of a basic research discovery, which may not be obvious at the point of discovery, and to assess the receptivity with the commercial sector to licensing any resultant patent for development.

		That's a substantial change from the current "first-to-invent" system, which grants the patent to the first person to devise the invention.
		In first-to-file systems, all that matters is who got their paperwork to patent office first.

	Groklaw - Hey. This First-to-File Thing Is Scary
		Under the existing U.S. patent law, the right to patent the invention belongs to the person who was the first to invent, not the one who was first to file for the patent.
		The supporters of the existing “first to invent” system argue that, the rush to file will negatively impact the quality of invention disclosures in the patent, and increase patent malpractice suits, since any delay on the part of the patent attorney could result in not getting the patent at all.
		Determining who is the first to invent a particular matter is extraordinarily difficult, and the applicable rules are Byzantine even by the standards of patent law.

	First To File or First To Invent?
		Accordingly, it would be good for the world market and for industrialized civilization as a whole if the United States would change its archaic first-to- invent system, which is undoubtedly the most significant idiosyncratic aspect of American patent law, to a first-to-file system.
		Those issues are (1) derivation, (2) inventorship disputes among former colleagues, (3) interfering cases naming the same inventive entity but filed by different real parties in interest, (4) cases involving interleaving priorities, and (5) improvidently issued junior patents.
		The Patent Act of 1999 means that, in the overwhelming majority of cases involving commercially important inventions, the applications on those inventions will be published for all to see eighteen months after the earliest filing date of an application disclosing the invention.

	Right of First-Inventor-To-File / Patent Reform Issues / Help Us Save Our Patent System - Professional Inventors ... (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		The Patent Reform Act of 2005 awards the patent to the first- inventor-to-file when two inventors file patent applications, changing the traditional United States first-to-invent procedure.
		As such, this provision rewards the individual or entity that is fastest in filing a patent application, irrespective of the significant contributions of the inventor.
		It should be understood that it is because the U.S. has a first to invent structure and the rest of the world has a first to file structure that the U.S. is the production and employment machine that it is. The individual Inventor is the prime mover unrestricted by corporate structure and constraints.
