Overview

What This Service Covers

Trademark registration protects a mark through the Department of Industry's Industrial Property Section. Company Darta supports the agreed search, application, response and renewal coordination for trademark work in Nepal.

What Our Service Includes

  • Trademark search, application, response and renewal coordination within the agreed engagement.
  • A review of the proposed mark, applicant, goods or services, current business use and any foreign registration or priority position before filing.
  • Coordination of the agreed search, documents, application, response or renewal work; the Department of Industry retains examination and registration decisions.

Who It Is For

  • Nepali businesses and foreign applicants seeking trademark registration for a brand used in Nepal.
  • Applicants who need to distinguish brand protection in Nepal from company-name registration or a foreign trademark registration.

What Is Not Assumed

  • Company-name registration does not itself protect a brand as a trademark.
  • A foreign trademark registration does not itself establish protection in Nepal.
  • Patent, design, enforcement and litigation services are not included unless separately confirmed.
  • Registration, opposition, fees, validity and renewal outcomes cannot be guaranteed.

KEY ROUTE DECISIONS FOR TRADEMARK & IP PROTECTION

  • Intended audience: Brand-owning businesses.
  • Primary authority or route: DOI Industrial Property Section.
  • Core route definition: Trademark registration protects a mark through the Department of Industry's Industrial Property Section. Company Darta supports the agreed search, application, response and renewal coordination for trademark work in Nepal.
  • Main dependency: Search findings, applicant documents, mark-sample format, foreign-document readiness, Department examination and any objection.
Why It Matters

Doing It Yourself vs. Working With Us

Without Professional Help

  • You identify the mark, check the available official route, prepare the required documents and manage Department queries yourself.
  • You assess potential conflicts, classify the goods or services and prepare mark samples, business records and representative authority directly.
  • You manage foreign applicant, priority, publication-stage, objection and renewal issues through the current DOI route yourself.

With Company Darta Nepal

  • You receive agreed search, document and application coordination. The Department of Industry examines the application, publishes marks and decides registration or renewal.
  • You receive an agreed checklist that separates trademark coordination from patent, design, enforcement and litigation work outside the confirmed scope.
  • You receive coordination updates for the agreed DOI route while providing current applicant, mark, goods/services and supporting records.
