Intellectual Property (Amendment) Act No. 8 of 2022 comes into effect from today
Speaker of Parliament Mahinda Yapa today (16) endorsed the certificate on the Intellectual Property (Amendment) Bill which was taken up for debate on March 8 and passed in Parliament.
Accordingly, this Act will come into effect today. Products such as Ceylon Cinnamon, which have made significant contributions to the Sri Lankan economy, have so far been registered as Certificate Marks under the subject of Trademarks as there was no specific methodology for registering them as such.
The Act will enable products such as Ceylon Tea, Ceylon Cinnamon, Ceylon Pepper and Ceylon Cashew to register as Sri Lankan Geographical Indicators, thereby establishing a legal framework to stop counterfeiting under these names.
