The

has
as
its
object
patents,
utility
models,
industrial
designs,

service
marks, trade
names,
indications
of
source
or
appellations
of
origin,
and
the
repression

The
Governments
of
the
following
States
have
sent
communications
to the
depositary
to
the
effect
that
they objected
to the
instrument
deposited
by
the
German
Democratic
Republic:
Argentina,
Belgium,
Canada,
Denmark,
Federal
Republic
of
Germany,
France,
Gabon,
Greece,
Haiti,
Holy See,
Iceland,
Iran,
Ireland,
Israel,
Japan,
Luxembourg,
Madagascar,
Niger,
Portugal,
South
Africa,
Spain,
United
Kingdom
of
Great
Britain
and
Northern
Ireland,
United
States
of
America.
As
a
consequence,
those
Governments
considered that
articles
1
to
12
of
the
Convention
had
not
come
into
force
until
19
May
1970,
i.e.
three
months
after
the
deposit
of
the
instrument
of
ratifi
cation
by
Bulgaria,
the
tenth
country
of
the
Union not
taking
into
account
the
instrument deposit
ed
in
the
name
of
the
German
Democratic
Republic to
have deposited
an
instrument
of
ratification
or
accession
without
availing
itself
of
the
reservation
provided
for
by
article
20,
(a),
(1),
(b).
The dispute
regarding
the:
validity
of
the
instrument
deposited
in
the name
of
the
German
Dem
ocratic
Republic
had
no
bearing
on
the
date of
entry
into
force
of
the
Convention
insofar
as
concerns
its
articles
13
to
30:
the
last
formality
required
for
that
purpose
was
effected
on
26
January
1970,
from
both
the points
of
view
of
the
States
which
recognized
the
validity
of
the
instrument
and
those
which
declared
that
they
did
not,
since
Denmark
and
Switzerland
(the
tenth
and
eleventh
member
countries
of
the
Paris
Union
to
effect
that
formality,
taking
into
account
the
accession
effected
in
the
name
of
the German
Democratic
Republic; the
ninth
and
tenth
countries,
not
taking
that
accession
into account)
both
deposited
their
instrument
on
that
date.
