[Patentpractice] Countries frowning on PCT applications having disclosures not found in priority document

[Masson, Roger M.]

My recollection is that there are some obscure countries that have an issue with international applications whose disclosures aren't the same or materially the same as the priority document.  As a result, if there are improvements that you want to include in the international application and you want to enter those countries, you have to file a CIP or a non-provisional (if the original filing is a provisional application) in the US before or contemporaneously with the filing of the international application.

Which countries are these?
