Brand Protection & IPR Services We Offer
From counterfeit raids to IPR attorney services, our brand protection specialists in Nepal cover the full enforcement lifecycle — detecting infringement across physical markets and online platforms, then converting hard evidence into decisive legal action.
Anti Counterfeiting Investigations
Detection and investigation of counterfeit goods, their manufacturers, and distribution networks across Nepal. We trace fakes from the market shelf back to the source so enforcement disrupts the entire supply chain, not just a single seller.
Trademark, Copyright, Design & Patent Infringement Investigations
Evidence-gathering on infringement of registered trademarks, copyrights, designs, and patents. We document violations to the standard required for cease-and-desist action, seizures, and litigation.
Gray Market Investigations
Tracing of unauthorised or diverted genuine goods sold outside approved distribution channels. Protects your pricing, warranties, and authorised dealers from gray-market leakage that erodes brand value.
Parallel Trade Investigations
Investigation of cross-border parallel imports that undermine authorised pricing and territorial distribution. We identify the routes, importers, and players diverting product into Nepal's market.
IPR Litigations Support Investigation
Investigative support and structured evidence compilation for intellectual property litigation. We equip your legal team with court-ready proof of infringement, scale, and damages.
Intellectual Property Due Diligence
Assessment of IP ownership, validity, and encumbrances ahead of transactions, licensing, and investments. Confirms that the rights you are acquiring or relying on are genuinely enforceable.
Geographical Indication Investigations
Protection of geographical indications against misuse and false claims of origin. Safeguards the reputation and premium value of authentic, region-specific products.
Intellectual Property Rights Law
Advisory on IPR legal frameworks, registration strategy, and enforcement options in Nepal. Helps rights holders build protection that stands up both locally and internationally.
Conduct & Organize Criminal / Civil Seizures
Coordination of raids and seizures with law enforcement and legal counsel to remove infringing goods from the market. We manage the operation end to end while preserving evidentiary integrity.
Customs Protection
Customs recordal and border-enforcement support to intercept infringing shipments before they enter distribution. Stops counterfeits at the border rather than chasing them across the market later.
IPR Monitoring Services
Ongoing monitoring of markets and registries for new infringements, copycat filings, and emerging threats. Keeps your brand protected long after the first enforcement action concludes.
Common Law Searches
Searches for unregistered rights and prior use to support brand clearance and enforcement decisions. Reduces the risk of conflict before you launch, rebrand, or expand a mark.
Internet Survey & Monitoring Services
Surveillance of e-commerce platforms, social media, and websites for online counterfeiting and infringement. We detect and document digital violations across the channels where fakes now spread fastest.
Market Monitoring Services
Systematic physical market surveys to track counterfeit availability, pricing, and distribution hotspots. Gives you a live picture of where your brand is most under threat on the ground.
Trade Fair Monitoring
On-site monitoring of trade fairs and exhibitions for infringing products and unauthorised exhibitors. Enables rapid, evidence-backed intervention while offenders are operating in the open.
IPR Acquisition Service
Support for acquiring, licensing, and consolidating intellectual property rights. Helps you strengthen and formalise your IP portfolio as a strategic asset.
IPR Audit Service
Comprehensive audits of an organisation's IP portfolio, usage, and protection gaps. Reveals unregistered assets and exposure so you can close vulnerabilities before infringers exploit them.
IPR Sample / Test Purchases
Discreet, documented test purchases to secure hard evidence of counterfeit or infringing sales. The proof that turns suspicion into actionable, court-ready cases.
Service of Cease & Desist Notices
Drafting and formal service of cease-and-desist notices to infringers and their enablers. Often the fastest, most cost-effective step to halt ongoing infringement before escalation.
IPR Attorney Services
Access to specialised IP attorneys for registration, enforcement, and litigation in Nepal. Bridges investigation and legal action under one coordinated engagement.
Vendor & Market Information
Intelligence on vendors, suppliers, and market channels linked to infringing goods. Maps the network behind counterfeiting so enforcement targets the right players, not just the symptoms.
