§ Forty-eight
§
For subsection (2) there shall be substituted the following subsection:
(2) In this section, the expression 'Convention vessel' means a vessel of a Convention country; the expressions 'Convention aircraft' and 'Convention land vehicle' have corresponding meanings; and the expression 'Convention country has the meaning assigned to it by, or by virtue of, Section ninety-one A of this Act.
§ LORD TEMPLEMOREThe first two Amendments to the Schedule are drafting. The interpretation of the expression "Convention country" wherever it appears in the Patents and Designs Act, as amended by the Bill, is already provided for by Clause 9 of the Bill, so that the interpretation of that expression for the special purpose of Section 48 is redundant.
