If a trade mark protected in a State party to the Paris Convention for the Protection of Industrial Property has been registered in France in the name of the agent or representative of the proprietor of that trade mark without the authorisation of the proprietor, the latter may:
1° Oppose the use of the trade mark by his agent or representative;
2° Request the assignment of the trade mark to him.
The foregoing provisions shall not apply if the agent or representative justifies his action.
Unless the agent or representative is acting in bad faith, the proprietor’s action shall be barred by five years from the date of publication of the application for registration.
