Historical example time...

>(0) Alice invents a snaffleblort.
     Some Other Guy invented telephone
>(1) Bob invents a snaffleblort.
     A.G. Bell invented telephone.
>(2) Bob files for a patent on a snaffleblort.
     A.G. Bell files 6 hours earlier.

Actually happened. We know what happened...
