Claim of Priority Clause Samples

A Claim of Priority clause establishes a party's right to benefit from an earlier filing date for a patent or intellectual property application, typically based on a previous related filing. In practice, this clause allows an applicant to reference an earlier application—often filed in another country or jurisdiction—so that the later application is treated as if it was filed on the same date as the original. This mechanism is crucial for protecting inventions or works from being invalidated by intervening disclosures or filings, ensuring that the applicant's rights are preserved across different regions and timelines.
Claim of Priority. ‌ (1) Any person wishing to avail himself of the priority of an earlier application shall be required to attach to his application for a patent or to send to the Organization at the latest six months following the filing date of his application (a) a written declaration stating the date and number of the earlier application, the country in which it was filed and the name of the applicant; (b) a certified true copy of the said earlier application; (c) if he is not the person who filed the earlier application, a written authorization from the applicant or his successors in title authorizing him to avail himself of the priority in question. (2) The applicant who, in respect of a single application, seeks to avail himself of two or more rights of priority shall comply with the provisions mentioned above for each of them; he shall also pay a fee for each priority right claimed and shall produce evidence of payment of the fee within the six-month period mentioned in paragraph (1) above. (3) Failure to present any one of the documents mentioned above within the time limit shall automatically entail, for the application under consideration, loss of the benefit of the priority right claimed. (4) Any document that reaches the Organization more than six months after the filing of the patent application shall be declared inadmissible.
