Intellectual property refers to the legal rights of individuals or organizations over their creations of the mind: inventions, artistic works, designs, brand names, or symbols. Alpine Law Associates helps protect intellectual property rights and assists clients with any issues arising under Nepal's Patent, Design and Trademark Act, 2022, and Copyright Act, 2059.
Intellectual Property Registration
We provide comprehensive Intellectual Property (IP) registration services, assisting clients in protecting their innovations, trademarks, copyrights, patents, and designs in Nepal. Our team guides clients through the entire registration process, from conducting thorough searches to ensure the uniqueness of the IP, to preparing and filing the necessary documentation with the Department of Industry, Copyright Office, and other relevant authorities. Our firm also offers advice on IP strategy, enforcement, and safeguarding clients' intellectual assets against infringement. Our attorneys ensure that clients' intellectual property rights are legally protected and properly registered to secure long-term business value and competitive advantage.
Drafting Registration Documents
We handle the preparation of documents for registration related to IP protection, undertaking all necessary paperwork which is duly prepared for presentation before the relevant authorities. Whether it is a trademark, patent, copyright, or design, our team drafts precise, legally valid applications made to the exact requirements of the Department of Industry and other regulatory bodies. Our firm ensures that all supporting documentation, such as descriptions, claims, evidence of use, and priority documents, is properly structured in a manner that maximizes the chances of successful registration without delays or rejections. Our service aims at smoothing the process of IP registration and protecting valuable intellectual assets with efficiency.
Renewal of Intellectual Property
We provide reliable services in the renewal of intellectual property rights, including trademarks, patents, copyrights, and designs, to keep the protection of clients' IP up-to-date. Our team helps with the timely filing of renewal applications with the relevant authorities, managing the necessary paperwork and fees to avoid lapses in protection. Our firm offers strategic reminders and guidance to ensure that clients comply with renewal deadlines, which would avoid any potential loss of IP rights or challenges. Trademark renewals must be filed every 10 years, and we ensure clients never miss critical renewal dates.
