Claiming Priority in the EPO

BACKGROUND
The Paris Convention provides that for member states, one may file a provisional or other "first" patent application, and within a 1-year period, file a second, or non-provisional patent application (International PCT or National) claiming priority to the provisional or first application. Subsequently, one may file a Regional Phase application in Europe (i.e., the EPO).
