It was mentioned on this list in the last couple of months that if you
inform the authors of the patent of prior art after the patent if filed and
before the patent is approved, they have a legal obligation to inform the
patent office.  If they fail to pass the information on to the patent
office, the patent will not likely survive a later challenge.  Check the
list archives.
