Part V · Chapter XIX Marks and Trade Names

129. Cancellation of licence contracts

Official English translation. Where it differs from the Sinhala or Tamil text, the Act itself says which text prevails.

The Court may on the application of any person showing a legitimate interest, or of any Authority including the Director-General, to which the registered owner of the mark and every assignee, licensee or sub-licensee on record shall be made party, annul and cancel the said contract if—

(a)

the licensor has lost effective control over the quality of the goods or services in respect of which the mark is used ;

(b)

the licensee has used the mark in such a way as to mislead or confuse the public.
