:My understanding, based on talk with a real patent lawyer about another case, is that the "foreign priority" section of the USPTO records contains precisely which foreign applications have been designated by the applicant as giving the benefit of an earlier priority date, which filing date(s) serves (under the current rules) as the reference for the 20 years protection period. That benefit, I was told, includes earlier protection, and avoidance of self-anteriority. Could this be an oversimplification, and could a foreign application be in "foreign priority" with no effect on the 20 years protection period? <small><span class="autosigned">— Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:Fgrieu|Fgrieu]] ([[User talk:Fgrieu|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Fgrieu|contribs]]) 21:20, 24 May 2011 (UTC)</span></small><!-- Template:Unsigned --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->
