137. Date and effect of removal of mark

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

Upon a final decision of the Court in respect of removing any registered mark from the register—

(1)

the Court may, taking into account the date of the events and other circumstances which occasioned the removal of the mark, determine the date on which the registration of the mark shall be deemed to have ceased to have any legal effect ;

(2)

the Registrar of the Court shall communicate the decision of the Court to the Director-General who shall, if the Court decides that the mark be removed, enter in the register a record of such removal and cause the decision of Court to be published in the Gazette.
