Notes on Article 15
153. Ad paragraph (1): The Diplomatic Conference will decide the number of instruments whose deposit would cause the entry into force of the Treaty.
154. Ad paragraph (2): This is a provision of the usual kind and seems to be self-explanatory.
155. Ad paragraph (3): This paragraph allows (but does not oblige) any Contracting Party not to apply the Treaty retroactively to layout-designs that have been created before the Treaty enters into force with respect to that Contracting Party. But the protection of such layout-designs by virtue of legal texts other than the present Treaty is expressly preserved.
