RE: Blackholes and IXs and Completing the Attack.

["Tomas L. Byrnes" <tomb () byrneit net>]

ATT has no reason to pull their application, what needs to happen is
that the publisher of the prior art contact the USPTO.

If ATT willingly failed to note the prior art in their app, that may be
a problem, but it isn't their duty to report ALL prior art, just the
stuff they know about.

IANAL, but I have filed some patents, and reviewed a bunch more.
