Under international treaties, where a person has already applied for the same design in another country, they have 6 months after that filing to apply in another country and keep the same priority date for the subsequent countries. See s 5A. Australia is a party to the Paris Convention, so applicants who have applied overseas have the ability to apply in Australia for 6 months from the date of their overseas application. The first country must be a country mentioned in regulation 1.05.
