Trademark

The Trademark Law in Nepal is codified and is well developed and compliant with its obligations under TRIPS. It has expanded the definition of a trade mark to include shape of goods, packaging and combination of colour. It has also introduced the concept of Well Known trade mark. The term of registration of a trade mark has been increased to 10 years.

We have a rich experience and assist clients in protecting trade marks,

  • right from registration to prosecution and litigation.
  • advising clients on selection of a trade mark, managing, protecting and prosecution of trade marks,
  • assignment and licensing of trade marks,
  • franchising,
  • representing clients before the Trade Mark Registry and High Court,
  • filing oppositions and cancellations, etc
Copyright

Copyright protects original literary, dramatic, musical and artistic works; Cinematographic films and Sound recordings. Computer programs, databases, choreographic work, paintings, sculptures, drawings, engravings, photographs, are some of the works that are protected by Copyright.

It is necessary that the author should have expended sufficient skill, labour and capital in creating the work. It is not necessary that the work should be new or novel since there can be no copyright in an idea and any person can produce the same result independently but it could be original. Copyright protects the form of how an idea is expressed and not the idea itself. Though registration is not compulsory, it is however, advisable to do so.

We assist clients in

  • filing applications for registration of their copyright,
  • prosecution,
  • advising on assignment and purchase,
  • representing them before the Copyright Office and Board
  • Enforcement both civil and criminal
Industrial Design

A design means the features of shape, configuration, patterns or ornament applied to any article by any industrial process or means which in the finished article appeal to and are judged solely by the eye. It, however, does not include any mode or principle of construction or anything which is in substance a mere mechanical device.

A design, to be registrable, should be new and original. If it lacks novelty and originality it cannot be registered. Novelty would be lost if it has been disclosed to the public anywhere in India or in any other country. Original, in relation to a design, means originating from the author of such design. Examples of what can be registered as a design are unique chair designs, fashion garments, household articles, jewellery designs, etc.

We represent several clients from different industries.

We offer clients a complete solution for

  • filing and registration of their designs,
  • enforcement of their rights, as and when required,
  • assignment and licensing of their design rights.
Patent

Invention means any new and useful art, process, method or manner of manufacture; machine, apparatus or other article; substance produced by manufacture, and includes any new and useful improvement of any of them.
