Why ongoing protection matters
Registration is only the beginning.
Registering a trademark secures an important right, but the trademark landscape keeps changing. New applications continue to be published, renewal dates approach, and ownership details can change over time.
IP Watch Nepal helps you stay on top of what happens after filing—by monitoring new publications, tracking important dates and keeping your IP records current.
New trademark applications are published through Nepal’s Industrial Property Bulletin. If a potentially conflicting mark appears, identifying it early gives you more time to review the situation and decide whether action is appropriate.
Monitoring turns the bulletin from something you have to remember to check into something that is continuously screened for you.
See how Trademark Watch works
We screen the publications. You review the relevant ones.
When a new bulletin is published, we compare its trademark records against the marks you monitor—looking beyond exact matches to similar wording, pronunciation, transliteration and relevant class overlap.
Potential matches are filtered and reviewed before they reach you, so you receive the information that deserves attention rather than a stream of raw search results.

Registration and monitoring grounded in Nepal’s IP framework.

Nepal's principal statutory framework for the registration and administration of patents, industrial designs and trademarks.
Understand the legal frameworkNice Classification — 45 classes
Trademark applications are organised by the goods and services they cover. Our filing, search and monitoring workflows are class-aware.

Independent from government
IP Watch Nepal is an independent service and is not affiliated with or operated by the Department of Industry or any other government body.

How trademark watch works
Trademark monitoring that runs quietly in the background.
We screen new trademark publications, review potential matches and send you the relevant details when something deserves your attention.
01
We monitor new publications
Newly published trademark records are screened against the marks you're watching, including wording, pronunciation, transliteration and relevant class information.
02
Potential matches are reviewed
Screening creates a shortlist of possible matches. We review those results before they reach you, helping reduce unnecessary noise.
03
You receive a clear alert
See the published mark, applicant, class, source publication, why it was flagged and the relevant dates—all in one place.
