Paris Convention. Under Article 4 of the Paris Union Convention, a resident or national of a member country may first file a patent application in any member country and then file a patent application for the same invention in any other member country within 12 months of the first filing date. The subsequently filed application is treated as if it was filed in the other member country on the earlier filing date. This is called the “right of priority”.
Paris Convention. The Paris Convention is a multilateral treaty covering patents, industrial designs, trademarks and other intellectual property. A major purpose of the Paris Convention is to protect the intellectual property of foreign nationals to the same extent and under the same conditions as that nation protects the intellectual property of its own nationals (principle of national treatment). Another major purpose is to provide international priority periods within which foreign nationals may file applications for patents and for protection of industrial designs and trademarks. Under the Paris Convention, a filing in one signatory nation relates back to an earlier filing in another signatory nation, as long as the two filings are made within specified time periods.
