Is it possible to patent something that was disclosed in a priority application?

Question

I disclosed a feature in a priority application 2 years ago but it was not included in my finally pursued application. Now the priority and the pursued application have been published. Is it possible to patent this feature? I was thinking something like a divisional application but I am worried that it may not be possible to claim it since it has not been included in the final application.

Answer 1

This is definitely possible as it relates to the US -

(b) Subject to the conditions and requirements of this paragraph, if all or a portion of the specification or drawing(s) is inadvertently omitted from an application, but the application contains a claim under § 1.55 for priority of a prior-filed foreign application, or a claim under § 1.78 for the benefit of a prior-filed provisional, nonprovisional, or international application, that was present on the filing date of the application, and the inadvertently omitted portion of the specification or drawing(s) is completely contained in the prior-filed application, the claim under § 1.55 or § 1.78 shall also be considered an incorporation by reference of the prior-filed application as to the inadvertently omitted portion of the specification or drawing(s).

If the priority claim was not present on the filing day then there must be a petition before the material from the priority document can be amended into the application.

Answer 2

Other than in the US (see George White's answer), you cannot if the priority application is not pending. The finally pursued application does not disclose the matter, hence you cannot protect it.
