/ˈpraɪər ˈjuːzər/ – Phrase
Definition: người sử dụng trước.
A more thorough explanation: A “prior user” refers to a person or entity who has been using a trademark, invention, or other intellectual property right before another party filed an application to register or claim ownership of the same intellectual property. In legal terms, a prior user may have certain rights or defenses based on their pre-existing use of the intellectual property in question.
Example: The court ruled that the defendant had a prior criminal record, which influenced the severity of the sentence imposed.
