第三条
微生物保藏的承认与效力
|
| (1)
|
一、 |
| (a) Contracting States which allow or require the deposit of microorganisms for the purposes of patent procedure shall recognize, for such purposes, the deposit of a microorganism with any international depositary authority. Such recognition shall include the recognition of the fact and date of the deposit as indicated by the international depositary authority as well as the recognition of the fact that what is furnished as a sample is a sample of the deposited microorganism.

| (1)
|
一、 |
| (a) Where the international depositary authority cannot furnish samples of the deposited microorganism for any reason, in particular,
|
|
| （一）国际保藏单位由于任何原因，特别是由于下列原因不能提供所保藏的微生物样品，
|
|
| (i) where such microorganism is no longer viable, or
|
|
|
| (ii) where the furnishing of samples would require that they be sent abroad and the sending or the receipt of the samples abroad is prevented by export or import restrictions,
|
|
| （2）提供的样品需要送出国外，但因输出或输入限制向国外送出或在国外接受该样品有阻碍的，
|
|
| that authority shall, promptly after having noted its inability to furnish samples, notify the depositor of such inability, indicating the cause thereof, and the depositor, subject toparagraph (2) and as provided in this paragraph, shall have the right to make a new deposit of the microorganism which was originally deposited.
|
|
| 该单位在注意到它不可能提供样品后，应立即将这种不可能情况通知交存人，并说明其原因，除第二款另有规定外，根据本款规定，交存人享有将原来保藏的微生物重新提交保藏的权力。
|
|
| (b) The new deposit shall be made with the international depositary authority with which the original deposit was made, provided that:
|
|
| （二）重新保藏应向原接受保藏的国际保藏单位提交，但下列情况不在此限：
|
|
| (i) it shall be made with another international depositary authority where the institution with which the original deposit was made has ceased to have the status of international depositary authority, either entirely or in respect of the kind of microorganism to which the deposited microorganism belongs, or where the international depositary authority with which the original deposit was made discontinues, temporarily or definitively, the performance of its functions in respect of deposited microorganisms;
|
|
| （1）原接受保藏机构无论是全部还是仅对保藏的微生物所属种类丧失了国际保藏单位资格时，或者原接受保藏的国际保藏单位对所保藏的微生物暂时或永久停止履行其职能时，应向另一国际保藏单位保藏；
|
|
| (ii) it may be made with another international depositary authority in the case referred to in subparagraph (a)(ii).
|
|
| （2）在（一）项第（2）目所述情况下，可向另一国际保藏单位保藏。
|
|
| (c) Any new deposit shall be accompanied by a statement signed by the depositor alleging that the newly deposited microorganism is the same as that originally deposited. If the allegation of the depositor is contested, the burden of proof shall be governed by the applicable law.
|
|
| （三）任一重新保藏均应附具有交存人签字的文件，声明重新提交保藏的微生物与原来保藏的微生物相同。如果对交存人的声明有争议，应根据适用的法律确定举证责任。
|
|
| (d) Subject to subparagraphs (a) to (c) and (e), the new deposit shall be treated as if it had been made on the date on which the original deposit was made where all the preceding statements concerning the viability of the originally deposited microorganism indicated that the microorganism was viable and where the new deposit was made within three months after the date on which the depositor received the notification referred to in subparagraph (a).
|
|
| （四）除（一）项至（三）项和（五）项另有规定外，如果涉及原始保藏微生物存活能力的所有文件都表明该微生物是能存活的，而且交存人是在收到（一）项所述通知之日起三个月内重新保藏的，该重新保藏的微生物应视为在原始保藏日提出。
|
|
| (e) Where subparagraph (b)(i) applies and the depositor does not receive the notification referred to in subparagraph (a) within six months after the date on which the termination, limitation or discontinuance referred to in subparagraph (b)(i) was published by the International Bureau, the three–month time limit referred to in subparagraph (d)shall be counted from the date of the said publication.
|
|
| （五）如果属于（二）项第（1）目所述情况，但在国际局将（二）项第（1）目所述丧失或限制国际保藏单位资格或停止保藏的情况公告之日起六个月内，交存人仍未收到（一）项所述通知时，则（四）项所述的三个月期限应自上述公告之日起算。
|
|
| (2) The right referred to in paragraph (1)(a) shall not exist where the deposited microorganism has been transferred to another international depositary authority as long as that authority is in a position to furnish samples of such microorganism.
|
二、如果保藏的微生物已经移交另一国际保藏单位，只要另一国际保藏单位能够提供这种微生物样品，第一款（一）项所述的权利即应不存在。
|
Article 5
Export and Import Restrictions |
第五条
输出和输入限制
|
| Each Contracting State recognizes that it is highly desirable that, if and to the extent to which the export from or import into its territory of certain kinds of microorganisms is restricted, such restriction should apply to microorganisms deposited; or destined for deposit, under this Treaty only where the restriction is necessary in view of national security or the dangers for health or the environment.
|
各缔约国公认以下规定是十分合乎需要的，即如果某些种类微生物自其领土输出或向其领土输入受到限制时，只有在对国家安全或对健康或环境有危险而需要进行限制的情况下，这样的限制才适用于根据本条约保藏或将要保藏的微生物。
