In view of the prevailing situation in the country, National Intellectual Property Office is closed from 16th March 2020 and they try their best to attempt to the patent searches from home. Therefore they request you to forward the soft copies of the patent applications filed by your institution which are not searched with the application numbers to the email of the Patent Branch - patent.lk@gmail.com . Don't send the soft copies of already searched applications . It is better if you can provide them the contact details of inventors (emails) too.

This request is especially made for UBL cells of universities and other research institutions.
