Yes the law defines prior art. But I think there is some confusion on the issue here. There is no law on a new use -- the rule is defined as "new and useful" ! This means the invention must be new and it must be useful. Use is a very easy hurdle to overcome. New is somewhat more difficult.

I would suggest you consult with a registered patent attorney before proceeding should you have any other questions.

Good Luck

: ok, the law defines prior art. the law defines new use. what lines are crossed between prior art and new use? how do you determine prior art or new use.

: thank you
