Draft Convention Relating to the Status of Refugees. Austria: Amendment to Article 9

A/CONF.2/38

Replace the phrase "in which he is resident" by "in which he has his habitual residence or, if he has no habitual residence, in which he resides".

The Article will then read:

"In respect of the protection of industrial property, such as inventions, industrial designs or models, trade marks, trade names, and of rights in literary, scientific and artistic works, a refugee shall be accorded in the country in which he has his habitual residence or, if he has no habitual residence, in which he resides, the same protection as is accorded to nationals of that country. In the territory of any other Contracting State, he shall be accorded the same protection as is accorded in that territory to nationals of the country in which he has his habitual residence or, if he has no habitual residence, in which he resides."
