Legal Answers
1 Questions Answered
Q. There has been a patent application that was approved, however in the non-patent citation, there is previous art similar
A: The specific dates (not given in your question) might be the reason. If not and if the prior art really is "exactly the same" then the application could have been granted in error. The USPTO provides mechanisms to challenge such patents. For example: https://www.uspto.gov/patents/ptab/trials/inter-partes-review
