Trademark applications in Nepal are administered by the Department of Industry (DOI), Intellectual Property Section, under the Ministry of Industry, Commerce and Supplies. The DOI is responsible for the examination, publication, opposition, and registration of trademarks in Nepal. The system follows a first-to-file principle and includes formal examination, substantive examination, publication, opposition proceedings, and registration. Foreign applicants are required to file through a locally appointed Nepalese trademark agent.
The Nepal trademark registration system follows a structured sequence of reviews, publications, and legal checks. These steps ensure that trademarks meet all statutory requirements and remain protected over time.
Trademark applications are submitted to the Department of Industry through a locally appointed trademark agent. The application contains applicant particulars, trademark representation, and a list of goods/services in accordance with the Nice Classification.
The DOI conducts formal and substantive examination to determine registrability, including assessment of distinctiveness and legal compliance.
Accepted applications are published in the Nepal Gazette for public notice.
Any third party may file an opposition within 90 days from the date of publication.
If no opposition is filed, or if opposition proceedings conclude in favor of the applicant, the trademark proceeds to registration and a certificate is issued.
