"The importance of this is that you can lock in your priority filing date with the provisional application, while at the same time you are permitted to apply the coveted term "Patent Pending" to your invention and/or products. This is important because you cannot use the term "patent pending" or "patent applied" legally in the U.S. unless you do actually have some kind of a patent application on file with the Patent Office."

For the purpose of claiming the priority of a subsequent provisional application (e.g. a second provisional application) in a PCT application or foreign (non-US) application under the Paris Convention, the filing of the subsequent provisional application will only be the starting date of another valid priority year if, at the time of filing the subsequent provisional application, the first provisional application has been withdrawn, abandoned, or refused, without having been laid open to public inspection and without leaving any rights outstanding, and if it (the first provisional application) has not yet served as a basis for claiming a right of priority. The first provisional application may not thereafter serve as a basis for claiming a right of priority. See Article 4 C. (4) of the Paris Convention.
