24B. Filing date and effects of international application designating Uganda.

An international application designating Uganda shall, subject to this section, be treated as an application for a patent or, if so indicated in the international application, for a utility certificate, filed under this Statute and having as its filing date the international filing date accorded under the Patent Cooperation Treaty.

24C. Receiving office

(1) The Registry shall, unless any agreement is in force under subsection (2), act as a receiving office in respect of any international application filed with it by a resident or national of Uganda.

(2) The Registry may make an agreement of the kind referred to in rule 19 1(b) of the Regulations under the Patent Cooperation Treaty by which an intergovernmental organisation or the national office of another Contracting State of the Patent Cooperation Treaty shall act instead of the Registry as receiving office for applicants who are residents or nationals of Uganda.

24D. Filing of international applications with the Registry. An international application filed with the Registry as receiving office shall be

filed in English and the prescribed transmittal fee shall be paid to the Registry within one month from the date of receipt of the international application.

application in which Uganda is designated for the purposes of obtaining a national patent or utility certificate under this Statute.

24F. The Registry as elected office. The Registry shall act as an elected office in respect of an international

application in which Uganda is designated as referred to in section 24E if the applicant elects Uganda for the purposes of international preliminary examination under Chapter II of the Patent Cooperation Treaty.

24G. National processing. The Registry as a designated office or an elected office shall not commence

processing of an international application designating Uganda before the expiration of the time limit referred to in section 24H except where the applicant complies with the requirements of that section and files with the Registry an express request for early commencement of such processing.

revision of the Patent Cooperation Treaty is made by a special conference of the Contracting States under Article 60 of the Treaty, the Minister may, by statutory order, with the approval of Parliament, declare that the amendments shall, from a date specified in the statutory order, have the force of law in Uganda.

(2) Where a statutory order is made under subsection (1) in respect of any revision of the Treaty, the revision shall, with effect from the date specified in the statutory order as the commencement date of the revision, have the force of law in Uganda, and accordingly, from that date, this Statute shall apply to it as if formed part of the Treaty.”
