European Community design application can claim priority of PCT application

The OHIM gives an introduction on its website that a European Community design application can claim a priority of an earlier PCT application. As an example of such an application claiming a priority, an application of “earphones” is presented. For details, please access the URL below.Since the submission of six orthographic drawings is not essential for a European Community design application, it is considered to be beneficial for applicants to claim priority of an earlier PCT application in filing a European Community design application.
