Part III

50. Joint ownership of applications and registration

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

In the absence of any agreement to the contrary between the parties, joint owners of an application for registration or the registration of an industrial design may, separately, assign or transmit their rights in the application or registration, use the industrial design and exercise the exclusive rights referred to in paragraphs (a) to (c) of subsection (1) of section 47, but may only jointly withdraw the application, renounce the registration or conclude a licence contract.
