Frequently Asked Questions

Why and How Should I register a Trademark in Sri Lanka?

You should register your trademark in Sri Lanka because rights are primarily granted through registration, as Sri Lanka follows a “first-to-file” system. In practice, this means that the person or company who files first before the office will usually enjoy stronger and clearer rights than someone who only uses the mark without registering it.

Only in exceptional cases (for example, well-known or famous marks) can an unregistered trademark be protected.

To obtain protection in Sri Lanka, your application must be filed with the National Intellectual Property Office of Sri Lanka NIPO.

Once registered, your Sri Lankan trademark:

Grants you exclusive rights for the goods/services covered.
Gives you a solid legal basis to act against infringers and block later conflicting filings.
Can be used as a commercial asset (licensing, franchising, assignment, etc.).

How Much Does it Cost to Register a Trademark in Sri Lanka?

The cost to register a trademark in Sri Lanka is US$ 650 for the first class, plus US$ 500 for each additional class. This fee includes both the official government filing costs and iGERENT’s professional service fees.

What Documents are Required for Trademark Registration in Sri Lanka?

To register a trademark in Sri Lanka, you will need:

An original signed Power of Attorney (PoA) authorizing a local representative to act before NIPO.

Additionally, your attorney/agent will need:

Full applicant details (name, address, nationality/legal form).
A clear representation of the mark (word, logo, or combined).
A list of goods and/or services according to the Nice Classification.
A statement indicating whether the mark has already been used in Sri Lanka or is proposed to be used (this declaration is required at the time of filing).

How Long Does it Take to Register a Trademark in Sri Lanka?

The average timeframe for a straightforward trademark application to proceed to registration in Sri Lanka is approximately 36 months from filing.

This is an estimated duration and may vary depending on factors such as:

Objections from the examiner (e.g. lack of distinctiveness, conflicts with earlier rights, formal issues).
Delays in responding to office actions or requests for clarification.
Oppositions filed by third parties after publication.

What Happens after the Trademark Registration Process in Sri Lanka is Completed?

Once your trademark is registered in Sri Lanka:

It is valid for ten (10) years from the application date.
It can then be renewed indefinitely for further periods of ten (10) years.

Renewal:

Can be requested before the expiry date of the registration.
If you miss the deadline, there is a grace period of six (6) months after the expiration date during which you can still renew the mark, subject to payment of additional (late) fees.

The registration certificate (or official record) serves as proof of ownership and is crucial for enforcement and commercial transactions.

Can I Oppose Someone Else’s Trademark Application in Sri Lanka?

Yes. If a third party files a trademark that is identical or confusingly similar to yours for related goods or services, you may file an opposition.

Opposition period: Opposition actions may be filed by interested third parties within three (3) months following the publication of the trademark application in the Sri Lanka Trademarks Journal.

The chances of success will depend on:

The similarity of the signs.
The similarity or relatedness of the goods/services.
The strength and priority of your earlier rights, and the evidence you can provide (registrations, use, reputation, etc.).

Is Trademark Use Required to Maintain Registration in Sri Lanka?

A trademark does not need to be in use in order to be filed or registered in Sri Lanka. However:

At the time of filing, you must submit a statement indicating whether the mark is already in use or is proposed to be used.
After registration, use becomes important to maintain your rights.

If the trademark is not used for a continuous period of five (5) years after registration:

It becomes vulnerable to cancellation actions for non-use brought by third parties.

To avoid this risk:

The mark should be used genuinely and on a commercial scale in Sri Lanka.
You should keep evidence of use, such as invoices, advertisements, packaging, websites aimed at Sri Lankan consumers, etc.
