benefit of priority filing date

A quick definition of benefit of priority filing date:

The benefit of priority filing date means that if you file a patent or trademark application, you can get the advantage of being assigned the filing date of a related, earlier-filed application. This means that your application will be considered as if it was filed earlier, which can be helpful in getting your patent or trademark approved faster. For example, if you file a U.S. patent application within one year of filing a foreign application, your U.S. application will be given the filing date of the foreign application. Similarly, if you file a U.S. trademark application within six months of filing a foreign application in a Paris Convention country, your U.S. application will be given the filing date of the foreign application. This is also called the claim of priority.

A more thorough explanation:

The benefit of priority filing date refers to the advantage that a patent or trademark applicant receives by being assigned the filing date of a related, earlier-filed application. This means that the applicant can claim priority over other applications filed after their priority date.

For example, if a U.S. patent applicant files an application within one year of filing a related foreign application in accordance with the Paris Convention, they can claim the filing date of the foreign application as their priority date. This can be beneficial because it gives them an earlier filing date, which can help establish their invention as novel and non-obvious.

Similarly, a U.S. trademark applicant can receive the filing date of an earlier-filed foreign application if the foreign application was filed in a Paris Convention country and the U.S. application is filed within six months after the foreign application.

Overall, the benefit of priority filing date can help patent and trademark applicants establish their rights to an invention or mark and potentially gain a competitive advantage over other applicants.

I wouldn't say trauma, the trauma would probably come from seeing my friends head get crushed by an LTV and feeling the bag of glass that was his skull in my hands. Or knowing a kid I mentored shot himself with a bullet he used to keep around his neck that I allowed him to have illegally.

Winter is tattoo season because you are less likely to be in the sun exposing the healng tattoos, you dont go swimming or tanning in winter either so you don't miss out on the fun stuff of summer

@snow: healing is super easy it takes like a week to get through the bad part but being in the sun or going in water is a no no so if you get it in the summer that is two weeks at least of no summer fun while winter it doesnt matter
