Trademark Registration in Nepal

Protect Your Brand Before Someone Else Registers It

Trademark registration in Nepal is handled through the Department of Industry, and it works on a first-to-file basis — meaning the business that files first generally secures the rights, even if another business used the name earlier without registering it. CompanySathi handles trademark search, application filing, and follow-through to certificate for brand names, logos, and taglines.

We check for conflicting marks before filing, prepare the application in the correct class of goods/services, and track the process through publication and objection periods so your brand identity is properly protected.

Correct Class Filing

Applications filed under the correct Nice Classification for your goods or services.

Objection Handling

Common Questions

How long does trademark registration take in Nepal?+

A straightforward, unopposed trademark registration in Nepal typically takes several months from filing to certificate, longer if objections are raised during examination or publication.

Is trademark registration mandatory in Nepal?+

No, but Nepal follows a first-to-file system, so an unregistered brand name has weak legal protection against a competitor who registers it first.

Can I trademark a logo and a brand name together?+

They are typically filed as separate applications — a word mark for the name and a device/logo mark for the visual — to give each the fullest possible protection.

How long does a registered trademark last in Nepal?+

A trademark registration in Nepal is valid for a set term from the registration date and must be renewed before expiry to remain protected.
