The Minister may by order confer on a person who has filed an application for registration of a design in a country or territory to which the Government has entered into a treaty, convention, arrangement or engagement for the reciprocal protection of registered designs, a right to priority, for the purpose of registering the same design under this Act for some or all of the same articles, for a specified period from the date of filing of that application.

An order under this section may make provision corresponding to that set out in section 12 or such other provision as appears to the Minister to be appropriate.
