What information must be included in the application data sheet for a foreign priority claim?
When claiming foreign priority, the application data sheet (ADS) must include specific information to meet the requirements of 37 CFR 1.55(i)(2). The MPEP states that the claim for priority must be presented in an ADS:
identifying the foreign application for which priority is claimed, by specifying the application number, country (or intellectual property authority), day, month, and year of its filing, and including the information necessary for the participating foreign intellectual property office to provide the Office with access to the foreign application
This information is crucial for the USPTO to retrieve the priority document through the Priority Document Exchange program. Ensure that all details are accurate to avoid any issues with your priority claim.
