Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Union Convention of Paris provides for a 12-month priority period during which an inventor can file for a patent in multiple countries. Stephanie filed for her patent in Canada on May 12, 2004, so her priority date is May 12, 2004. Her patent was granted on October 17, 2004, so her patent protection in France will expire 20 years from that date, which is October 17, 2024.
