35 USC 102(a)(2): effective filing date

“A person shall be entitled to a patent unless — the claimed invention was described in a patent issued under section 151, or in an application for patent published or deemed published under section 122(b), in which the patent or application, as the case may be, names another inventor and was effectively filed before the effective filing date of the claimed invention.”

Effective filing date

In order to be considered prior art, any of the previously named documents in this section must have an effective filing date before the effective filing date of the patent application under examination

In other words, they also have to meet 102(a)(1) requirements.

AIA Changes: Applications having an effective filing date on or after March 16 will be examined under the AIA’s first-inventor-to-file provisions
