Practice
From first search to enforcement, with a record that can be defended.
01
End-to-end trademark work before the Department of Industry: availability searches, filing in the relevant classes, responses to examination, watching publication in the Industrial Property Bulletin, and renewals. Foreign brand owners are guided through local-agent requirements, priority claims, and how Nepal filings sit in a wider portfolio.
02
Nepal is not a party to the Patent Cooperation Treaty, so protection here is a national filing — often with a Paris Convention priority claim, or a confirmatory patent where a grant already exists abroad. The work includes assessing what can usefully be claimed in Nepal, preparing the application, and coordinating with foreign counsel so timelines are not missed.
03
Registration of the visual appearance of a product — shape, pattern, and ornament — and advice when lookalikes appear in the market. Design filings are often timed with a product launch or with trademark protection for the brand that sits on the same goods.
04
Oppositions and disputes at the Department of Industry, and contentious matters before the courts. Astha’s litigation background is used to choose a path that matches the commercial problem: a letter, a bulletin opposition, an administrative complaint, or a court action — not process for its own sake.
