Problem is - this change has passed the Senate, but is not signed into law.

Thanks for the link. That's helpful. I expect Obama will sign that law because it does not seem controversial.

I think this is a good law. People who have discovered things should either fish or cut bait. They should not sit on their discovery indefinitely. I think that the first person to file has a moral right to the discovery.

I forwarded the link to Rossi with a brief explanation as to what it means, quoting his message to me.

I thought this was the rule heretofore.
