Considering the delay and the obvious rework, it is likely that information they developed in the interim was involved in the final version. It is conceivable that this will impact the option although it will probably take litigation to resolve it.

Also, those techniques and disclosures listed in the application that turned out to be ineffective (requiring the rework), even if they are granted, will be irrelevant.
