Agreement No. 3 "''Mutual Recognition of Invention Patent Priority Right with [[Germany]]''", No. 5 "''Mutual Recognition of Patent Priority Right with [[Switzerland]]"'', etc... are bilateral agreements on priority rights for patents.

These kinds of bilateral agreements usually involve at least one country not party to the Paris Convention.
