The later-filed application, because it is based on the date of the first application, will not be invalidated by some act accomplished in the interval, such as sale or use of the invention.Similarly, the earlier priority date is the effective filing date for determining whether prior art precludes granting of a patent for the invention.Moreover, the time afforded by the Paris Convention (up to 12 months) gives a patent applicant time to gather funds and make a determination as to whether to seek patent protection in other countries and in which countries to do so.
