Trademark, Design, Patent & Copyright Protection in Bangladesh
Trademark
A trademark is the unique name, logo, or symbol used to distinguish a product or service (e.g., "Toyota" for a Japanese car brand). In Bangladesh, trademarks are regulated under the Trademarks Act, 2009, and administered by the Department of Patents, Industrial Designs and Trademarks (DPDT). Trademarks are valuable intellectual property assets that must be protected from infringement.
Our firm assists in trademark registration by filing applications with DPDT, ensuring full legal protection. Additionally, we take legal action—civil suits or criminal cases—against unauthorized use, imitation, or counterfeiting of trademarks. We help stop illegal activities such as unauthorized manufacturing, marketing, and selling of counterfeit goods, ensuring the rightful owner retains control and benefits from their trademark.
Industrial Design
An industrial design refers to the aesthetic appearance of a product, including its shape, packaging, or overall visual identity. It is a crucial intellectual property asset protected under the Bangladesh Industrial Designs Act, 2023.
We assist in industrial design registration with DPDT, ensuring legal protection against piracy. If a design is copied, we take civil and criminal legal action to prevent unauthorized production, marketing, or sale of counterfeit goods, thereby safeguarding the original owner’s rights.
Patent
A patent grants its owner exclusive rights to an invention, preventing others from making, using, or selling it for a certain period. In Bangladesh, patents are governed by the Patents Act, 2023. Patents provide a competitive edge in many industries, and enforcing them requires legal action against infringement.
Our firm provides end-to-end patent registration consultation and litigation support, ensuring patent holders can enforce their rights through civil suits or criminal proceedings.
Copyright
Copyright protects the original expression of ideas in various forms, including literary, artistic, musical, and graphical works. It grants the creator exclusive rights to copy, distribute, and reproduce their work for a limited time. Unlike patents, copyright does not protect ideas but rather their expression.
We assist in copyright registration and take legal action against copyright infringement, ensuring that creators retain control over their intellectual property.
