In such case, the provisions set out in the agreement shall prevail.The recipients prescribed in the preceding paragraph shall negotiate on how the award should be distributed among them within a specified period of time. Should the group fail to reach an agreement within the specified time period, the Specific Patent Agency may distribute the award equally among all recipients.Inventors, utility model creators or designers referred to in Paragraph 2 may each be awarded a certificate; the trophy is awarded to all recipients as a whole.
