Our new first to file doesn't help you there: Their prior public practice of the technique would preclude your patent.

People, quick to assume the worst of any regulatory change, often make out f2f as worse than it is. At least for us in the open world who constantly make our inventions public shortly after their conception and don't depend on patents its not something that has that much impact.
