In receiving questions from clients and others, some incorrectly believe that the new first-to-file provisions of the recently passed patent legislation mean that the first party to file a patent application unconditionally has lawful rights in the patent application, even where a second party misappropriates or derives the intellectual party from the first party. This is incorrect.
