The Process

  1. 01

    खोजबिन (क्लियरेन्स सर्च)

    Clearance search

    We search the DOI trademark register for conflicting marks in your class before filing, to reduce the risk of objection.

  2. 02

    वर्ग छनोट

    Class selection

    Your goods/services are mapped to the correct Nice Classification class: filing in the wrong class is the most common rejection reason.

    Filing

    Application filed with logo/wordmark specimen and applicant details.

  4. 04

    परीक्षण र प्रकाशन

    Examination & publication

    DOI examines the mark and publishes it for public objection.

  5. 05

    दर्ता र अनुगमन

    Registration & monitoring

    Once the objection period passes, your certificate is issued. We monitor the register for future conflicting filings.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does trademark registration take in Nepal?+

Typically 18–24 months from filing to final registration, though your priority date is secured on the filing date itself.

How much does trademark registration cost in Nepal?+

Government fee is charged per class of goods/services. We quote an exact figure after confirming your classes during the free consultation.

Can I trademark just a name, or does it need a logo?+

Both are registrable separately: a wordmark (name only) and a device mark (logo) offer different scopes of protection, and many brands register both.

What happens if someone copies my unregistered brand name?+

Without registration your legal options are limited to passing-off claims, which are harder to prove. Registration gives you statutory exclusive rights.
