| http://www.w3.org/ns/prov#value | - It is not unusual for a U.S. patent to be anticipated by another, foreign patent, but that the foreign filing date fails to qualify under other ??102 clauses, except possibly (f). ??102 (a) is positively nationalistic: (a) the invention was known or used by others in this country, as if foreigners do not count for invention, unless published first.
