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

The Director-General shall keep and maintain a register (hereinafter called and referred to as the “Register of Patents”) wherein all patents shall be recorded, in the order of their grant, specifying the number of the patent, the name and address of the grantee and, if the grantee is resident outside Sri Lanka, a postal address for service in

Sri Lanka, the date of application and grant, any change in the ownership of a patent application or patent, the amendment or division of a patent application, the assignment or transmission of a patent application or patent, any valid claim to priority, the surrender or revocation of a patent and such other matters relating to patents as are authorised or directed by this Part to be so recorded or may from time to time be prescribed.
