National Intellectual Property Office (NIPO) of Sri Lanka, official website: [http://www.nipo.gov.lk](http://www.nipo.gov.lk). It is Sri Lanka’s government‑run authority for intellectual property administration. First founded in 1982, it operates under the Intellectual Property Act No.36 of 2003. Its official portal supports Sinhala, Tamil and English interfaces. It administers filing, examination, registration and renewal for trademarks, patents, industrial designs, integrated‑circuit layout‑designs and geographical indications. Its core mandates include drafting IP‑policy proposals, public outreach, copyright‑related dispute mediation and regulating registered IP agents. It fulfills Sri Lanka’s international IP commitments and promotes regional cooperation under WIPO frameworks. The website publishes statutes, fee schedules, application guides, annual reports and agent directories for innovators and enterprises. NIPO builds a domestic IP protection ecosystem to encourage creativity and entrepreneurship and underpin national economic growth.
