    Abstract
    This comparative analysis explores the legal frameworks for protecting industrial designs in Sri Lanka, India, and Japan, focusing on definitions, registration processes, and infringement rights. While all three countries emphasize the visual appeal and novelty of designs, significant differences exist in the scope and specificity of their respective laws. Sri Lanka's legal system offers partial recognition and lacks clear infringement provisions, while India provides robust protection with exclusive rights and clear definitions. Japan has the best protection, with comprehensive laws and remedies. Recommendations for enhancing Sri Lanka's industrial design protection include strengthening enforcement mechanisms, raising public awareness, and enacting a dedicated industrial design act. By adopting best practices from India and Japan, Sri Lanka can strengthen its intellectual property regime and foster innovation, creativity, and economic growth.
