The Director General of the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) presents his compliments to the Minister for Foreign Affairs and has the honor to notify him of the, deposit by the Government of the Republic of El Salvador, on November 18, 1993, of its instrument of accession to the Paris Convention for the Protection of Industrial Property of March 20, 1883, as revised at Stockholm on July 14, 1967, and amended on September 28, 1979.
The Republic of El Salvador has not heretofore been a member of the International Union for the Protection of Industrial Property ("Paris Union"), founded by the Paris Convention.
The Paris Convention as revised will enter into force, with respect to the Republic of El Salvador, on February 19, 1994. On that date, the Republic of El Salvador will become a member of the Paris Union.
Under the unitary contribution system, the Republic of El Salvador will, as from January 1, 1994, belong to Class Sbis for the purpose of establishing its contribution towards the budgets of the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) and the contribution-financed unions.
