There's talk of changing patent law from first described to first filed. If this change were to go through would prior art in patents granted under the old rules be judged by the old system or the new "first filed" one? If the later then it makes sense to file for everything in sight, prior art or not, as long as you think it will fly under the radar. Of course if you get caught then you have to say: "It was simply an error"
