I want to respond to the gentleman from New Hampshire and say that one key issue for clarification is the interplay between actions under section 102(a) and actions under section 102(b). We intend for there to be an identity between 102(a) and 102(b). If an inventor's action is such that it triggers one of the bars under 102(a), then it inherently triggers the grace period subsection 102(b).
