    - the declaration, pursuant to Article 22(1)(c), that, notwithstanding Article 7(1), "no application may be divided";

    - the declaration, pursuant to Article 22(2), that, notwithstanding Article 4(3)(b), "a power [of representation] may only relate to one application or one registration";

    - the declaration, pursuant to Article 22(5), that, notwithstanding Article 13(4)(iii), "the furnishing of a declaration and evidence concerning use of the mark may be required on the occasion of renewal."
