Protect your brand, designs and creative work. Trademark, patent and copyright registration through the Department of Industry and Copyright Registrar.
Your business name, logo, product design and creative content are assets that can be copied the moment they become successful. We help clients register trademarks with the Department of Industry under the Patent, Design and Trademark Act 2022, register copyright with the Nepal Copyright Registrar's Office, and protect trade secrets through well-drafted agreements. We also search existing registrations before you invest in a brand so you are not forced to rename later.
When someone copies your work, we issue cease-and-desist notices, file oppositions against conflicting applications and pursue infringement claims. For creators, agencies and software companies we draft licensing and assignment agreements so ownership of commissioned work is never in doubt.
If any of these sound familiar, you are in the right place. Every situation is different, so we always start with a short scoping conversation.
Step 1
We search the trademark register and advise whether your mark is likely to be accepted, and in which classes to file.
Step 2
We prepare the application, specimen and power of attorney and file with the Department of Industry, then monitor examination.
Step 3
After publication in the IP Bulletin we watch for oppositions and respond to any objections raised by the examiner or third parties.
Step 4
Once registered we diarise renewals and act quickly against infringers with notices, negotiations or court action.
