I'm not talking about older ones, I'm talking about the one for the mice. The patent application allows you to back date a patent that is filed later. So for instance, if you file an application today, and put through a patent in a years time, and then in the future the patent is actually granted, then you can claim validity from today. An application isn't a patent, a filing isn't a patent, only a granted patent, is a patent. All they have done with the mice is filed a pre dated application.
