Not sure if chapter 1900 is addressed by the new America Invents Act, but doesn't it seem a little wierd that no protests are considered after publication of the patent application? Or am I reading it wrong. If I am a member of the public, how would I know about an application in the first place that would need to be protested, if in fact the applications are held in confidence (37 CFR 1.14) until publication?
