COMMUNICATION

I take pleasure in sending you the enclosed communication under Article 8 of the Budapest Treaty on the International Recognition of the Deposit of Microorganisms for the Purposes of Patent Procedure, in respect of IMET - Nationale Sammlung von Mikroorganismen, Jena, an international depositary authority for which the relevant assurances have been given by the Government of the former German Democratic Republic.

Communication made by the Government of the Federal Republic of Germany

For the IMET - Nationale Sammlung von Mikroorganismen, IMET - Hinterlegungsstelle, Beutenbergstrasse 11, 6900 Jena (Thüringen), the declaration under Article 7(1) of the Budapest Treaty on the International Recognition of the Deposit of Microorganisms for the Purposes of Patent Procedure was made by the Government of the former German Democratic Republic. Through the unification of Germany, IMET has come under the jurisdiction of the Government of the Federal Republic of Germany.

As from January 1, 1992, IMET has been integrated into the DSM - Deutsche Sammlung von Mikroorganismen und Zellkulturen GmbH, Mascheroder Weg 1B, 3300 Braunschweig, which will continue the operations of the then IMET and maintain all patent deposits made under the Budapest Treaty. These patent deposits will be transferred to DSM, Braunschweig, which will inform the depositors accordingly.

The Government of the Federal Republic of Germany withdraws, with respect to IMET - Nationale Sammlung von Mikroorganismen, IMET - Hinterlegungsstelle, the declaration referred to in Article 8(2) of the Budapest Treaty.

DSM is an international depositary authority for which the assurances referred to in Article 7(1) of the Budapest Treaty have been given by the European Patent Organisation. These assurances will extend to all microorganisms deposited with IMET and transferred to DSM. This communication has been coordinated with the European Patent Organisation.
