Text of the Notification of the Government of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, dated September 16, 1986, relating to the change in the name, and locations of, and in the list of kinds of microorganisms accepted by, the Culture Centre of Algae and Protozoa

NOTIFICATION

1. I have the honour to refer to the Budapest Treaty on the International Recognition of the Deposit of Microorganisms for the Purposes of Patent Procedure, opened for signature at Budapest from April 28 to December 31, 1977, and to the communication dated July 20, 1982, from the Government of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland nominating the Culture Centre of Algae and Protozoa as an International Depositary Authority.

2. I have the honour to inform you that the Culture Centre of Algae and Protozoa, at present at 36 Storey's Way, Cambridge CB3 0DT, United Kingdom, with effect from January 1, 1987, is to be renamed the Culture Collection of Algae and Protozoa and relocated at (i) Freshwater Biological Association, Windermere Laboratory, The Ferry House, Far Sawrey, Ambleside, Cumbria LA22 0LP, United Kingdom, and (ii) Scottish Marine Biological Association, Dunstaffnage Marine Research Laboratory, P.O. Box 3, Oban, Argyll, PA34 4AD, United Kingdom. The Culture Collection of Algae and Protozoa will accept freshwater and terrestrial algae and free living protozoa at its Freshwater Biological Association address; and marine algae, other than large seaweeds, at its Scottish Marine Biological Association address.

3. The assurances furnished in the aforesaid communication by the Government of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland that the Culture Centre of Algae and Protozoa complies and will continue to comply with the requirements specified in Article 6(2) of the Treaty apply and will continue to apply to the renamed International Depositary Authority at its new locations. However, in accordance with Rule 5.2 of the Regulations under the Treaty, the Government of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland hereby notify you that during the course of relocation from October 1, 1986, to January 1, 1987, the Culture Centre of Algae and Protozoa will be unable to receive any deposits. No alternative temporary measures are planned for this short period.

4. In accordance with Rule 4.2 of the Regulations under the Treaty, the Government of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland hereby also notify you that with effect from January 1, 1987, the Culture Collection of Algae and Protozoa will not accept parasitic protozoa not pathogenic to man or domestic animals, which can be maintained by in vitro culture, so limiting the kinds of micro-organisms previously accepted by the Culture Centre of Algae and Protozoa. Further, in accordance with Rule 5(1)(iv) of the Regulations under the Treaty, the Government of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland hereby notify you that measures consequential to this limitation are unnecessary since the Culture Centre of Algae and Protozoa does not hold any deposits of such parasitic protozoa for patent purposes.

5. I have the further honour to request that you circulate this notification to all Contracting States and intergovernmental industrial property organizations.
