89. Joint ownership of patent applications or patents

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 a patent application or patent may, separately, assign or transmit their rights in the patent application or patent, exploit the patented invention and take action against any person exploiting the patented invention without their consent, but may only jointly withdraw the patent application, surrender the patent or conclude a licence contract.
