The Colombo Commercial High Court in its judgment dismissed the Appeal filed by Singapore-based Crocodile International Ltd., challenging the refusal of its registration of the trademark consisting of the word “Crocodile”. High Court Judge E.A.G.R. Amarasekera dismissed the Appeal in view of the fact that the Director General of Intellectual Property had sufficiently and reasonably analysed the relevant provisions and come to the conclusions to refuse its registration.
