What is the priority in patent application?

The priority of patent application refers to that the inventor applies for a patent for invention in China with the same theme after filing a patent application in other countries, and can enjoy priority according to the treaties to which * * * is a party and the principle of mutual recognition. According to the law of our country, the date of the first patent application is the date of filing, so the applicant for this patent can enjoy priority according to law. The difference between foreign priority and domestic priority: domestic priority means that the person applying for a patent applies for a patent again within 12 months after he first applied for a patent for an invention or utility model with the same theme in China, so that the person can enjoy the priority according to law. Having said that, I want to emphasize that the design patent has not been included in China's priority.
