What are the requirements for a petition to restore the right of priority?

A petition to restore the right of priority must include several key elements. The MPEP outlines these requirements:

A petition to restore the right of priority must include: (1) the priority claim under 35 U.S.C. 119(a)-(d) or (f), 365(a) or (b), or 386(a) in an application data sheet, identifying the foreign application to which priority is claimed, by specifying the application number, country (or intellectual property authority), day, month, and year of its filing (unless previously submitted); (2) the petition fee set forth in 37 CFR 1.17(m); and (3) a statement that the delay in filing the subsequent application within the twelve-month period was unintentional.

These requirements ensure that the USPTO has all necessary information to consider your petition for priority restoration.
