A brand name or logo becomes valuable the moment customers start to recognise it — which is exactly when it becomes worth protecting. Without registration, there's nothing stopping a competitor from using a similar name, or worse, registering it before you do.
Rightvantage manages the full trademark process with the National Intellectual Property Office of Sri Lanka, from the initial search through to final registration.
Full-Service Trademark Registration
We start with a clearance search to confirm your mark is available, then prepare and file the application, and manage every step of prosecution through to grant.
If your business operates internationally, we also advise on protecting your mark in other jurisdictions through the Madrid Protocol system.
