Secure Your Brand Identity with Expert Legal Support
Trademark registration is essential for businesses and individuals who want to protect their brand identity and prevent unauthorized use of their intellectual property in Nepal. At CompanyNP, we provide end-to-end trademark registration and protection services to help you secure exclusive rights over your brand and build long-term value.
In Nepal, trademark registration is governed by the Patent, Design and Trademark Act, 2022 (1965), which grants legal protection for seven years, renewable indefinitely. Once registered, your trademark becomes a legally recognized asset that distinguishes your goods or services and prevents confusion in the marketplace.
What is a Trademark?
A trademark can be:
-
A word, phrase, or slogan
-
A logo, symbol, or design
-
A distinctive color, sound, or shape
-
A combination of these elements
By registering your trademark, you gain exclusive rights to use it for specific goods or services, strengthening your brand identity and protecting it from misuse.
