mpep 2158: AIA 35 USC 102(a) defines what is prior art both for purpose of novelty under AIA 35 USC 102 as well as for purpose of obviousness under AIA 35 USC 103.
因此，对于AIA申请，“抵触申请”可用于评价创造性。
【 在 jjove 的大作中提到: 】
: 假期无聊，翻了下mpep。
: 对于pre-AIA申请，US patents may be used as of their filing dates to show that the claimed subject matter is anticipated or obvious. 换言之，对于pre-AIA申请，102e可用于评价创造性；对于AIA申请，应该不适用。
: 此外，由于CA、CIP等存在，一件申请中可能部分权项适用102e，部分权项不适用。
