However, pursuant to Article 168, the Convention does not apply to the Netherlands Antilles and thus applies only to the Netherlands itself. As a result, patents granted under the Convention, including European patents granted on the basis of an international application in which the Kingdom is designated and in which, in accordance with Article 4 (1) (ii) of the Treaty, the applicant has indicated a desire to obtain a European patent, have legal consequences only in the Netherlands and not in the Netherlands Antilles.

Under Article 22, or if applicable, Article 39 of the Treaty, a Dutch translation must be provided, for the Kingdom's benefit, of every international application that has been filed in a language other than Dutch.
