DECLARATION between Denmark and Sweden for the Mutual Protection of Industrial Designs and Models.-Signed at Stockholm, June 19, 1908. (Translation.) IN continuance of the International Convention concluded at Paris on the 20th March, 1883,* for the protection of industrial property, and the supplementary Act signed at Brussels on the 14th December, 1900,† the Swedish and Danish Governments have agreed as follows: * Vol. LXXIV, page 44. + Vol. XCII, page 807. ART. I. Protection of industrial designs and models in the countries of the Contracting Parties shall not be dependent on the manufacture of the article having taken place in the one country or the other. For a design or model to enjoy protection in one country it is consequently not conditional that that design or model should be used there for the preparation of an industrial product, and the fact that the article which has been prepared according to the design or model in the one country does not entail the cessation of protection in the latter country. II. This Convention comes into force thirty days after the day of signature, and remains in force until six months from the day upon which it is denounced by either of the two Contracting Parties. To this effect we, the Undersigned, have signed this Declaration and affixed thereto our seals. Done in duplicate at Stockholm, June 19, 1908. (L.S.) E. TROLLE.
