What are the PDAS benefits for applicants?

If an applicant files a priority application in a PDAS participating Office, the applicant will not have to provide paper certified priority documents to other PDAS participating Offices. The applicant can just request the OFF to deposit the patent application through PDAS and can then make it available via PDAS to any participating OSF. This saves the applicant the expense and effort normally associated with providing paper certified priority documents to every OSF.
