(5) No person ordinarily resident or domiciled in Zambia shall, while in Zambia, except under the authority of a written permit granted by or on behalf of the Registrar, make or cause to be made any application outside Zambia for the registration of a design of any class prescribed for the purposes of this subsection unless- (a) an application for registration of the same design has been made in Zambia not less than six weeks before the application outside Zambia; and (b) either no directions have been given under subsection (2) in relation to the application in Zambia or all such directions have been revoked. (6) If any person fails to comply with any direction given under this section or makes or causes to be made an application for the registration of a design in contravention of this section, he shall be guilty of an offence.
