If the publication of a PCT application shows only the Filing Date but not the Priority Date/Data, does it mean that its priority date is the same as the filing date, i.e. it claims no priority to an earlier application?
Thank you in advance ...

It's possible that there may be a corresponding national application
with no priority link. E.g. if the applicant missed the deadline for
claiming priority when he filed the PCT, but the invention was still
unpublished at that time.

Yes (errors and omissions excepted).
