HUNGARIAN NOTE applying to the Relations between Hungary and States not coming within the Designation of Allied and Associated Powers under the Terms of the Treaty of Peace, signed at Trianon, June 4, 1920, the International Convention for the Protection of Industrial Property, signed at Paris, March 20, 1883, and revised at Washington, June 2, 1911, and the Agreement concerning the International Registration of Trade-Marks, signed at Madrid, April 14, 1891.-Berne, May 29, 1922.

The Hungarian Chargé d'Affaires at Berne to the Swiss Federal Council.

CONFORMÉMENT à un ordre reçu de mon Ministère préposé, j'ai l'honneur de porter à la connaissance du Conseil Fédéral Suisse ce qui suit:

Aux termes de l'Article 220* du Traité de Trianon, la Convention internationale de Paris du 20 mars 1883, pour la protection de la propriété industrielle, revisée à Washington le 2 juin 1911, et l'Arrangement du 14 avril 1891 concernant l'enregistrement international des marques de fabrique et de commerce, seront appliqués à partir de la mise en vigueur du Traité de Paix, dans la mesure où ils ne seront pas acceptés et modifiés par les exceptions et restrictions résultant dudit Traité.

Etant donné que le Traité de Trianon a été conclu entre les Puissances alliées et associées d'une part, et la Hongrie de l'autre, ces dispositions ainsi que celles concernant l'application renouvelée de certains traités, conventions et accords plurilatéraux ne sont pas applicables aux relations existant entre la Hongrie et les Etats qui ont souscrit aux traités, conventions et accords énumérés aux différents articles du Traité de Paix, ou qui y ont adhéré, mais ne sont pas Puissances alliées et associées."

En conséquence et pour prévenir des difficultés qui pourraient surgir d'une divergence d'opinions sur la question du maintien desdits traités, conventions et accords en ce qui concerne les relations de la Hongrie vis-à-vis des Etats qui n'appartiennent pas à la catégorie des Puissances alliées et associées, le soussigné, au nom du Gouvernement Royal de Hongrie, a l'honneur de déclarer que la Hongrie, malgré la dissolution de la monarchie austro-hongroise et sans égard à l'Article 220 du Traité de Paix, reconnaît être liée par la Convention internationale de Paris du 20 mars 1883, pour la protection de la propriété industrielle, revisée à Washington le 2 juin 1911, ainsi que par l'Arrangement de Madrid, du

14 avril 1891 pour l'enregistrement international des marques. de fabrique et de commerce et elle les appliquera à l'avenir vis-à-vis de tous les États qui en sont parties contractantes.

La présente notification doit être regardée comme ayant seulement un caractère déclaratif de façon à ne laisser subsister aucun doute concernant le maintien de la Convention et de l'Arrangement en question de la part de la Hongrie, laquelle quoique diminuée par le Traité de Paix-au point de vue du droit constitutionnel hongrois est identique à l'ancien Royaume de Hongrie, lequel au temps du dualisme formait auprès de l'Autriche l'autre partie composante de l'ancienne monarchie austro-hongroise. Il s'en suit done que la dissolution de la monarchie, c'est-à-dire l'extinction de la connexion constitutionnelle entre l'Autriche et la Hongrie, en elle-même, n'a pas modifié la vigueur des traités et conventions qui au temps du dualisme ont été conclus par l'accession constitutionnelle de la Hongrie.

Quant aux relations existant entre la Hongrie et les Etats qui sont parties contractantes de l'Arrangement de Berne du 30 juin 1921, concernant la conservation ou le rétablissement des droits de propriété industrielle atteints par la guerre mondiale, cette notification doit être entendue dans ce sens qu'elle ne porte aucune atteinte aux dispositions dudit Arrangement.

En portant ce qui précède à la connaissance du Conseil Fédéral Suisse, j'ai l'honneur de le prier de bien vouloir communiquer dûment cette déclaration aux États qui ont souscrit à la Convention et Arrangement en parole ou qui y ont adhéré, mais ne sont pas "Puissances alliées et associées" et de me faire parvenir à son temps les réponses qu'ils auront adressées au Conseil Fédéral Suisse.

PARCHER, Chargé d'Affaires de Hongrie.
