As I understand it, this would only be a problem if Rossi was aware of the advantages of enrichment at the time he wrote that letter. You have to present the best implementation (or "best mode" or whatever it is called in patent jargon) at the time of the application or re-application. If you discover an improvement later, you are allowed to file an amendment. I gather that often happens. The advantages of enrichment are described in the Piantelli patent, so maybe Rossi cannot claim them. I guess he is obligated to mention them if that is the best implementation. I don't know enough about patents to judge. - Jed
