What is the priority right for designs?

IT DEFINES THE FILING DATE

The owners of a national design have a period of six months from the date of first filing to claim priority in their application for a Community design at the EUIPO. If priority is claimed, in the event that someone else files an application later, the priority owner’s application will take precedence over those of others. In other words, the priority owners will have the opportunity to enforce their intellectual property rights relating to the design before the others.
