1.1 Filing date as effective date

1.3 Validly claiming priority

1.2	Priority date as effective date

However, in many cases, a European application will claim the right of priority of the date of filing of a previous application. In such cases, it is the priority date (i.e. the date of filing of the previous application) which becomes the effective date for the purposes mentioned in the preceding paragraph.
