Trademark Registration Bangladesh
In today’s competitive business landscape, protecting your brand identity has become more crucial than ever. Also, trademark registration offers legal protection for your brand name, logo, and other distinctive marks that set your business apart. So, this comprehensive guide walks you through everything you need to know about securing your trademark in 2026.
What Is a Trademark?
A trademark represents a unique symbol, word, phrase, logo, or design that identifies and distinguishes your products or services from competitors. Basically, it serves as your brand’s identity and helps customers recognize your business instantly. Plus, the Trademarks Act, 2009, governs all trademarks in Bangladesh, providing a legal framework for registration and protection.
Why Trademark Registration Is Important ?
Exclusive Rights and Legal Protection
Trademark registration grants you exclusive rights to use your brand identity across Bangladesh. Also, it prevents competitors from using similar marks that could confuse customers and damage your reputation.
Business Value and Credibility
A registered trademark adds significant credibility to your business. As a result, it increases brand value and serves as a valuable asset that you can license or sell.
Legal Enforcement
Most importantly, registration gives you legal grounds to take action against infringement. Therefore, you protect your years of hard work and investment in building your brand.
Step-by-Step Process for Trademark Registration
Step 1: Trademark Search
First, conduct a thorough search through the Department of Patents, Designs, and Trademarks (DPDT) database. This step ensures your desired trademark isn’t already registered or pending.
Step 2: Application Filing
Next, submit your application to DPDT with required documents and applicable fees. In fact, you can file applications online or in person at the DPDT office in Dhaka.
Step 3: Examination
After that, DPDT examines your application for compliance with legal requirements. Moreover, they check for conflicts with existing trademarks.
Step 4: Publication
Once approved, your trademark appears in the Trademark Journal. Then, third parties have two months to file any opposition.
Step 5: Registration
Finally, if no one files opposition or you successfully defend against it, your trademark receives final registration. Usually, this process takes 18-24 months from filing.
Required Documents for Trademark Registration
To get started, you will need the following documents:
- First, provide your Trade License or Company Incorporation Certificate as proof of your business.
- Next, submit the NID or Passport of the applicant or business owner.
- Also, prepare a soft copy of your Logo or Design that you wish to trademark.
- In addition, provide a clear Product or Service Description, including the correct class category under the Nice Classification.
- Finally, include a recent Passport-size Photo of the applicant.
Once all documents are ready, we take care of the rest. We prepare all required forms and handle the full submission to DPDT on your behalf — making the process simple, smooth, and hassle-free for you.
Trademark Classes in Bangladesh
Bangladesh follows the internationally recognized Nice Classification system, which divides trademarks into 45 classes based on the nature of the business.
- Classes 1–34 cover all types of goods and products.
- Classes 35–45, on the other hand, cover all types of services.
For example:
- Class 3 includes Cosmetics and Cleaning Products.
