Part VI

143. Prohibited trade names

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

A name or designation shall not be admissible as a trade name if, by reason of its nature or the uses to which it may be put, it is contrary to morality or public order or is likely to offend the religious or racial susceptibilities of any community or is likely to mislead trade circles or the public as to the nature of the enterprise identified by that name.
