Masur and Ouellette's new paper on the categories of prior art is really illuminating. They propose thinking of internal commercial uses as sales, and making the on-sale bar specific to the party making the sale (while leaving the public-use bar as a bar against the world). If you make those changes, everything snaps into place.
