The licence may only be granted if such national, in
accordance with the procedure of the State concerned,
established either that he has requested, and been denied,
authorization by the proprietor of the right to publish such
work, or that, after due diligence on his part, he was unable to
find the owner of the right. At the same time as he makes his
request he shall inform either the international copyright
information centre established by the United Nations
Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization or any
national or regional information centre referred to in sub-
paragraph (d).
(b) A licence may also be granted on the same conditions if,
for a period of six months, no authorized copies of the edition in
question have been on sale in the State concerned to the general
public or in connexion with systematic instructional activities
at a price reasonably related to that normally charged in the
State for comparable works.
(c) The period referred to in sub-paragraph (a) shall be
five years except that:
(i) for works of the natural and physical sciences,
including mathematics, and of technology, the period shall
be three years;
(ii) for works of fiction, poetry, drama and music, and
for art books, the period shall be seven years.
(d) If the owner of the right of reproduction cannot be found,
the applicant for a licence shall send, by registered air mail,
copies of his application to the publisher whose name appears
on the work and to any national or regional information centre
identified as such in a notification deposited with the
Director-General by the State in which the publisher is
believed to have his principal place of business.
