2. Can I save the priority fee if I don't ask for priority when I reapply? There is no need to claim priority, that is, there is no need to pay the fee for claiming priority. If priority is not required, the creativity of the later application will be judged based on the actual application date of the later application. If you claim priority, the creativity of the later application will be judged according to the application date of the previous application, with a time lag.
Do I have to claim priority when I reapply? There are two situations;
1. If the previous application has not been made public, you can reapply without asking for priority.
2. The earlier application has been made public. If the later application does not require priority, the earlier application will definitely affect the novelty of the later application, resulting in the later application not being authorized, so priority will generally be required.
