such a certificate for the other convention application a request on Form D4 that
the first-mentioned certificate lodged in support of the first-mentioned convention
application is to be recognised also for the other convention application.

Save as provided for in subregulations (5) and (6), each representation in the
form of a drawing or a photograph of the design shall be executed upon or
mounted on paper of A4 size. When more than one figure is shown, these shall
as far as possible be on one and the same sheet, and the view of each shall be
designated on the sheet (e.g. front view, side view).

The minimum margins for sheets containing drawings or photographs shall be the
same as those set out in regulation 10 (4), except that below the top margin there
shall be a space clear of any drawing matter for the name of the applicant, the
application number and the numbering of the sheets, and at the bottom righthand
corner there shall be a space within the margin clear of any drawing matter for
the signature of the applicant or his agent.
(3)
Drawings shall be executed without colouring in durable, black, sufficiently dense
and dark, uniformly thick and well-defined lines and strokes to permit of
satisfactory reproduction. All reference symbols appearing in or on the drawings
shall be simple and clear.
(4)
Where words, letters, or numerals are not part of the design or do not serve as
reference symbols as envisaged in regulation 15, they shall be disclaimed or be
removed from the representations.

In the case of an application for the registration of a design for an integrated
circuit topography, a mask work or a series of mask works, the representations
may exceed A4 size, and shall be of such dimensions that the features of the
integrated circuit topography, mask work or series of mask works are clearly
visible to the naked eye.

In the case of an application for the registration of a design for an integrated
circuit topography, a mask work or a series of mask works, drawings not in A4
size shall be folded in A4 size.

Where representations of the design in the form of drawings or photographs are
furnished, they shall be signed by the applicant or his agent.
(2)
Where representations in the form of drawings or photographs are supplied, the
registrar shall be supplied also, if in any case he so requires, with a specimen or
another recorded version of the design.
(1)
Each representation of a design which consists of a repeating surface pattern
shall show the complete pattern and a sufficient portion of the repeat in length
and width to disclose adequately the design, and such representation shall be of
a size not less than A5.
