Abstract
Abstract This article critically evaluates the Intellectual Property (Amendment) Act 2022, which introduced a sui generis registration system for geographical indications (GIs) in Sri Lanka. The analysis begins by examining the pre-2022 law and the factors leading to the introduction of the GI registration system. The article then outlines the key features of the new system, highlighting its strengths and shortcomings through a critical analysis. While the 2022 amendment brings positive developments and enhanced protection for registered GIs, it also reveals certain ambiguities and unaddressed issues, which could impair the effective operation of the new system.
