(c) Kadar je kot zastopnik pred Mednarodnim uradom navedena pisarna ali družba, v kateri so odvetniki, patentni zastopniki ali zastopniki za znamke, se ta upošteva kot en sam zastopnik.
(2) [Imenovanje zastopnika] (a) Zastopnika je mogoče imenovati v mednarodni prijavi, če tako prijavo podpiše prijavitelj.
(b) Zastopnika je mogoče imenovati tudi v ločenem sporočilu, ki se lahko nanaša na eno ali več določenih mednarodnih prijav ali mednarodnih registracij istega prijavitelja oziroma imetnika. To sporočilo podpiše prijavitelj oziroma imetnik.
(c) Kadar Mednarodni urad meni, da imenovanje zastopnika ni pravilno, o tem uradno obvesti prijavitelja oziroma imetnika in dozdevnega zastopnika.
(3) [Vpis imenovanja zastopnika in uradno obvestilo o tem; dan veljavnosti imenovanja] (a) Kadar Mednarodni urad ugotovi, da je imenovanje zastopnika opravljeno skladno z veljavnimi pogoji, vpiše dejstvo, da ima prijavitelj oziroma imetnik zastopnika, ter ime in naslov zastopnika v mednarodni register. V takem primeru je dan veljavnosti imenovanja tisti dan, ko je Mednarodni urad prejel mednarodno prijavo ali ločeno sporočilo z imenovanjem zastopnika.
(b) Mednarodni urad o vpisu iz pododstavka (a) uradno obvesti prijavitelja oziroma imetnika in zastopnika.

(c) Vsako sporočilo, ki ga na Mednarodni urad naslovi zastopnik, vpisan v register po pododstavku (a) tretjega odstavka, ima enak učinek, kot če bi ga na ta urad naslovil prijavitelj oziroma imetnik.
(5) [Izbris vpisa; dan veljavnosti izbrisa] (a) Vsak vpis v register po pododstavku (a) tretjega odstavka se izbriše, če je izbris zahtevan v sporočilu, ki ga je podpisal prijavitelj, imetnik ali zastopnik. Mednarodni urad vpis izbriše po uradni dolžnosti, če je imenovan nov zastopnik oziroma če se vpiše v register sprememba lastništva in novi imetnik mednarodne registracije ni imenoval nobenega zastopnika.
(b) Izbris velja od dneva, ko Mednarodni urad prejme ustrezno sporočilo.
(c) Mednarodni urad o izbrisu in datumu njegove veljavnosti uradno obvesti zastopnika, čigar vpis v register je bil izbrisan, in prijavitelja oziroma imetnika.
