[Pct] Priority Claim to Withdrawn PCT Application

[David Boundy]

I am troubled about something in this thread...

The Paris Convention only applies when you have two different countries.
Same-country-to-same-country is national law.  A PCT application IS a
national application.  So be really cautious here.

I haven't dug into the fact pattern we have here to be sure how it comes
out, but some of the reasoning seems questionable to me.
