claim of priority

Read a random definition: chase

A quick definition of claim of priority:

A claim of priority is when a person who is applying for a patent or trademark gets the advantage of having an earlier filing date for a related application. This means that if they filed a similar application before, they can use that earlier date for their current application. For example, if someone filed a patent application in another country, they can use that filing date for their US patent application as long as it's within a year. The same goes for trademarks, where a person can use the filing date of a foreign application if it was filed in a Paris Convention country and their US application is filed within six months.

A more thorough explanation:

A claim of priority is a legal term used in patents and trademarks. It refers to the advantage that an applicant gets by being assigned the filing date of a related, earlier-filed application. This means that the applicant can claim the earlier filing date as their own, which can be important in determining who has the right to the invention or trademark.

For example, if someone files a patent application in the United States, but had previously filed a similar application in another country, they can claim the earlier filing date of the foreign application as their own. This can be helpful if there is a dispute over who invented the technology first.

Similarly, if someone files a trademark application in the United States, but had previously filed a similar application in a foreign country that is a member of the Paris Convention, they can claim the earlier filing date of the foreign application as their own. This can be helpful in establishing priority over other companies that may be using a similar trademark.
