`Foreign Priority Information:
`
`This section allows for the applicant to claim priority to a foreign application. Providing this information in the application data sheet
`constitutes the claim for priority as required by 35 U.S.C. 119(b) and 37 CFR 1.55. When priority is claimed to a foreign application that is eligible
`for retrieval under the priority document exchange program (PDX) the information viill be used by the Office to automatically attempt retrieval
`
`pursuant to 37 CFR 1.55(i)(1) and (2). Under the PDX program, applicant bears the ultimate responsibility for ensuring that a copy of the foreign
`application is received by the Office from the participating foreign intellectual property office, or a certified copy of the foreign priority
`application is filed, within the time period specified in 37 CFR 1,55(g)(1).
