Trademark Registration in Bangladesh

A trademark is an important intellectual property asset that helps consumers identify the goods or services of one business from those of another.

Trademark registration in Bangladesh provides an important legal mechanism for protecting a brand against unauthorized use and infringement. Businesses, entrepreneurs, manufacturers, service providers and international companies operating in Bangladesh should consider protecting their valuable brands through appropriate trademark registration.

Trademark Law in Bangladesh

Trademark registration and protection in Bangladesh are governed by the applicable trademark legislation and administered through the Department of Patents, Designs and Trademarks (DPDT), including its Trademarks Registry.

Under the Trade Marks Act, 2009, a proprietor of a trademark or service mark may apply for registration in the prescribed manner. The Registrar may examine an application and may accept, refuse or accept it subject to applicable amendments, modifications, conditions or limitations.

Bangladesh follows the International Classification of Goods and Services for trademark applications. Proper identification of the relevant goods or services and selection of the appropriate class are therefore important parts of the trademark filing strategy.

Trademark Registration Process in Bangladesh

A trademark application generally proceeds through several stages. Advanced IP Law Firm assists clients throughout the process and follows up with the relevant authority.

01. Trademark Search

We review the proposed mark and conduct appropriate searches to identify potentially conflicting marks and assess filing considerations.

02. Application Preparation

We collect the necessary applicant, trademark and goods or services information and prepare the application for filing.

03. Trademark Filing

The trademark application is filed in the prescribed manner with the appropriate trademark authority.

04. Examination

The application is examined by the authority. Depending on the examination result, further action or response may be required.

05. Objection & Response

Where an objection is raised, we review the grounds and assist in preparing an appropriate response within the applicable period.

06. Journal Publication

Following acceptance, the mark proceeds toward publication in the Trademarks Journal in accordance with the applicable procedure.

07. Opposition Period

After publication, the application may be subject to opposition in accordance with the applicable trademark law and procedure.

08. Registration Certificate

Once the applicable requirements are satisfied, registration can be completed and the trademark certificate obtained.

Documents Required for Trademark Registration

The documents and information required may vary depending on the applicant and circumstances of the application. Common information may include:

  • Proposed trademark, brand name or logo.
  • Applicant's full name and address.
  • Applicant's nationality or incorporation details, as applicable.
  • Description of the goods or services.
  • Relevant trademark class or classes.
  • Date of use in Bangladesh, where applicable.
  • Priority documents where a priority claim is applicable.
  • Power of Attorney or other required authorization documents.
  • Label or logo/device mark copies where applicable.

The Department of Patents, Designs and Trademarks currently provides trademark-related forms and online application information, including information concerning TM-1 and other trademark forms. Requirements should be verified at the time of filing.

Service Mark Registration in Bangladesh

A service mark identifies and distinguishes services rather than physical goods. Service businesses such as consulting firms, financial institutions, technology companies, restaurants, educational organizations, healthcare businesses and other service providers may have valuable service marks that require protection.

We assist clients with identifying the appropriate classification and preparing applications for trademark or service mark protection in Bangladesh.
