Walter, You are correct about discovery dates for US patents (filing dates apply everwhere else). I'm sure that LGND has some relevant lab notebooks also. i believe that the interfernce request is made so the patent office can determined who discovered what when.

I would place bets on LGND since they discovered that 9-cis retinoic acid was a natural hormone (the first non-polypeptide hormone to be discovered in 25 years).
