Notes
The notification by Japan to the WTO under article 63.2 of TRIPS states:
'The Enforcement Ordinance of the Design Act was revised to accede to Geneva Act of the Hague Agreement Concerning the International Registration of Industrial Designs. Based on the Geneva Act, Japan's Enforcement Ordinance of the Design Act was revised to improve the provisions for simultaneously filing a design application with multiple offices overseas in one procedure, so as to contribute to reducing the cost imposed on applicants.'
