(5) Where any use of a patented invention is made by the Government, or by any person with the authority of the Governor, under this section, then, unless it appears to the Governor that it would be contrary to the public interest so to do, the Chief Secretary shall notify the holder of the certificate of registration issued under this Ordinance as soon as is practicable after the use is begun, and furnish him with such information as to the extent of the use as he may from time to time require.
