What can be searched

Three kinds of IP, three different searches

Nepal's Patent, Design and Trademark Act 2022 (1965) covers three registrable rights, all filed with the Department of Industry. Only one of them has a register you can search online.

Searchable online

Trademarks

Brand names, logos and slogans. Every mark the Department has published in its Industrial Property Bulletins — searchable by name, owner, class or application number.

Patents

New and useful inventions. The Department examines novelty, but does not publish a searchable patent database, and patents almost never appear in the bulletins.

No online register

Industrial designs

The shape, pattern or look of a product. Designs are examined for novelty, but like patents the records are not published in searchable form.

How the three rights differ

Terms and windows from the Patent, Design and Trademark Act 2022 (1965).

	Trademark	Patent	Industrial design
Protects	A brand name, logo or slogan	A new, useful invention	The look or shape of a product
Term	7 years	7 years	5 years
Renewal	Any number of times	Twice, 7 years each	Twice, 5 years each
Opposition	90 days after publication	35 days after publication	35 days after publication
Search online	Yes — search now	No public register	No public register

Renew on time. A renewal is due within 35 days of the term expiring. Every one of these rights is first-to-file: priority goes to whoever files first, not whoever used it first.

Where the trademark data comes from

The Department's own printed record

Nothing is retyped. Every one of the 71,500+ trademarks is cut from the page of the Industrial Property Bulletin it was published on and kept beside the searchable version, so you can read the government's record yourself.

The printed bulletin entry for COFFEE LUWAK: applicant CAFE LUWAK PVT. LTD. of Kathmandu, mark type M, application number 135388, filing date 2083.04.22, NICE class 43. — **COFFEE LUWAK** (and logo) App. no. **135388** Class 43 Published **16 Sep 2026** Browse every bulletin →

These are published trademarks. Accepted and advertised by the Department of Industry, which is not the same as finally registered. Confirm status with the Department before you rely on it.

Questions

Searching IP in Nepal

Can I search Nepal's trademark register online?

Yes. Every trademark the Department of Industry has published in its Industrial Property Bulletins is searchable free on IP Sewa — over 71,500 marks, by name, owner, NICE class or application number.

Can I search Nepal's patent or design register online?

No. The Department of Industry does not publish a searchable patent or industrial design register online. A search of its records is made by application to the Department, and novelty is usually checked against international databases such as WIPO PATENTSCOPE, Espacenet and the Global Design Database as well.

How long does each right last?

A trademark lasts 7 years and can be renewed any number of times. A patent lasts 7 years and can be renewed twice. An industrial design lasts 5 years and can be renewed twice.

How long is the opposition period?

90 days from publication for a trademark, and 35 days for a patent or an industrial design. Anyone may object during that window.

Does a clear search mean my brand is safe to file?

It is a strong start, not a guarantee. The search covers marks already published; applications still under examination are not yet in a bulletin. A professional clearance also weighs similar-sounding names and related classes.
