[No. 57

published during the period between the declaration of war and the signature of the
present Treaty, or against those who have acquired or continue to use them. It is
understood, nevertheless, that this provision shall not apply when the possessor of
the rights was domiciled or had an industrial or commercial establishment in the
districts occupied by Germany during the war.
This article shall not apply as between the United States of America on the one
hand and Germany on the other.

ARTICLE 310.

Licenses in respect of industrial, literary, or artistic property concluded before
the war between nationals of the Allied or Associated Powers, or persons residing
in their territory or carrying on business therein, on the one part, and German
nationals on the other part, shall be considered as cancelled as from the date of the
declaration of war between Germany and the Allied or Associated Power. But in
any case the former beneficiary of a contract of this kind shall have the right, within
a period of six months after the coming into force of the present Treaty, to demand
from the proprietor of the rights the grant of a new license, the conditions of which,
in default of agreement between the parties, shall be fixed by the duly qualified
tribunal in the country under whose legislation the rights have been acquired, except
in the case of licenses held in respect of rights acquired under German law. In such
cases the conditions shall be fixed by the Mixed Arbitral Tribunal referred to in
Section VI of this Part. The tribunal may, if necessary, fix also the amount which
it may deem just should be paid by reason of the use of the rights during the war.
No license in respect of industrial, literary, or artistic property granted under
the special war legislation of any Allied or Associated Power shall be affected by the
continued existence of any license entered into before the war, but shall remain
valid and of full effect, and a license so granted to the former beneficiary of a license
entered into before the war shall be considered as substituted for such license.
Where sums have been paid during the war by virtue of a license or agreement
concluded before the war in respect of rights of industrial property or for the repro-
duction or the representation of literary, dramatic, or artistic works, these sums shall
be dealt with in the same manner as other debts or credits of German nationals, as
provided by the present Treaty.
This article shall not apply as between the United States of America on the one hand and Germany on the other.

ARTICLE 311.

The inhabitants of territories separated from Germany by virtue of the present
Treaty shall, notwithstanding this separation and the change of nationality conse-
quent thereon, continue to enjoy in Germany all the rights in industrial, literary,
and artistic property to which they were entitled under German legislation at the
time of the separation.
Rights of industrial, literary, and artistic property which are in force in the
territories separated from Germany under the present Treaty at the moment of the
separation of these territories from Germany, or which will be re-established or
restored in accordance with the provisions of Article 306 of the present Treaty,
shall be recognized by the State to which the said territory is transferred, and shall
remain in force in that territory for the same period of time given them under the
German law.
