COMMUNICATION

The Permanent Mission of France presents its compliments to the World Intellectual Property Organization and has the honor to inform it that, pursuant to Rule 3.3 of the Regulations under the Budapest Treaty on the International Recognition of the Deposit of Microorganisms for the Purposes of Patent Procedure, the assurances of the Collection nationale de cultures de micro-organismes (C.N.C.M.), set out in item 7 of Budapest Notification No. 39, are extended to animal cell cultures, including human cell lines, genetically modified cell lines and hybridomes.

The C.N.C.M. reserves its right to refuse acceptance for deposit of any cell culture which, according to the curator, involves an unacceptable risk or is not suitable, for technical reasons, for handling.

Pursuant to Article 7(2)(b) of the Budapest Treaty, the extension of the list of kinds of microorganisms accepted for deposit by the C.N.C.M. will apply as from the date of publication of this communication.
