I think we all get that you're a big fan of Bruce's, but to say that you don't care what his consulting agreement says is just silly at best. Contracts are negotiated and unless unlawful, are to be adhered to.
Are you aware that most of the stars of Saturday Night Live do not generally own the characters that they create on the show? Their CONTRACTS usually state (as do most work related contracts) that anything developed during work hours for the company is OWNED by the company. You don't have to like it, that's just how it usually is.
The USPTO may very well state that "first to file gets the patent" (I have not read it), however signed CONTRACTS trump that, if the filing party did not have the right to file.
