priority claim:优先权主张。指在专利、商标或其他知识产权申请中,申请人声明本申请享有某一更早申请(如首次申请或先前申请)的优先权日期,从而在新颖性、抢先申请等方面以更早日期作为基准。(在不同法域与制度下细节略有差异。)
The applicant included a priority claim to the earlier filing.
申请人加入了对先前申请的优先权主张。
Because the priority claim was invalid, the invention was treated as filed on the later date, which affected the novelty analysis.
由于优先权主张无效,该发明被视为在较晚日期提交,从而影响了新颖性判断。
/praɪˈɔːrɪti kleɪm/
priority 源自拉丁语 prior(“更早的、在前的”),经由法语进入英语;claim 源自拉丁语 clamare(“呼喊、声明”),在法律语境中发展出“主张、权利请求”的含义。合在一起,priority claim 就是“对更早日期/更先权利的正式主张”,常见于知识产权申请文件与审查程序中。
