      The owner of the inventoried
or confiscated objects is to be
issued a copy of the judicial order and,
where appropriate, also with a copy
of the certificate confirming the
security given by the plaintiff,
all this on pain of invalidation [of
the action?] and liability to pay
damages [on the part of the plaintiff]

            Art. 27
      If the plaintiff should neglect
to take legal action within fourteen
days, then the making of an inventory
or confiscation are invalidated de jure,
without detriment to the indemnities
which can be claimed in any case.

            Art. 28
      Prosecution before the Swiss courts
for offences defined in the present convention
will only take place on request of the
injured party or its legal successors.

            Art.29
      Actions regarding the counterfeit
of literary or artistic works
are in Switzerland to be brought before
the court of the district in which
the unauthorised reproduction or the
sale thereof took place.
      Civil cases are to be judged by
summary proceedings.

            Art. 30
      The punishments established by
the present convention may not be
accumulated. Accordingly, for all
offences which precede the first
institution of criminal proceedings,
it is the severest punishment alone
which is to be imposed.
