有关这个US申请(US申请号12/548,320,公开号US20090319538A1)的相关信息如下:
CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS
[0001]This application is a continuation of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 11/620,427, filed Jan. 5, 2007, which itself is a continuation of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 10/086,036, filed on Feb. 27, 2002, now issued as U.S. Pat. No. 7,185,085, the disclosure of which is herein incorporated by reference.
关于美国continuation application的几个要点:
1. continuation并不影响原申请,原申请不自动视为撤回,
2. continuation享受原申请的申请日和优先权,专利期限从原申请日算起,不是从它自己的申请日算起,
3. continuation并不要求要在原申请的12个月内申请(别和国外优先权搞混),只要前一个申请还在pending即可。 |
