Early visibility
New applications can conflict with your brand long before you hear about them. We watch the records so relevant marks can be reviewed while there is still time to act.

Our story
Built from a problem we kept running into.
Trademark conflicts in Nepal rarely announce themselves. They sit inside a weekly gazette — published in Kathmandu, printed in two scripts, dated in Bikram Sambat — and the opposition window runs out whether you have seen it or not.
We kept meeting founders and advisers who wanted to do the right thing but had no practical way to look. The bulletins were PDFs; the records inside them were images, tables and transliterations that no search engine could reliably read.
So we built the tool we wished existed: the full bulletin archive since 2006, structured and searchable, open to every business in Nepal — with monitoring on top for the brands that need an early warning, not a search.
Why IP Watch Nepal
Trademark risk is easier to manage when you see it early.
Built around Nepal's system
Records appear in English or Nepali, use different transliterations and follow local publication formats. Everything here is designed for those realities — not adapted to them.
Technology, reviewed by people
Tools surface possible matches efficiently; human review adds the context — mark, applicant, class, deadline — before anything reaches you.
What we do
From first search to ongoing protection.
Search & assess
Search trademark records, explore relevant Nice classes and identify potentially similar marks before filing or expanding a brand.
File & record
Support for trademark, patent and design applications, together with renewals, assignments, licences and recordals.
Monitor
Watch published applications for potentially conflicting marks — across English, Nepali and transliterated names.
Review & respond
When a relevant publication appears, we bring together the mark, applicant, class and deadline so the next step is easy to weigh.
How we work
Three principles behind everything we publish.
Clarity over jargon
IP information is only useful when it can be understood. We explain what the records say — and what they don't.
Local by design
Nepal's calendar, scripts and procedures shape every product decision we make. Nothing is a translation of someone else's tool.
People behind the tools
Machines narrow the field; people add the context. Every alert we send is reviewed before it reaches you.
Practical IP tools, free for everyone.
Search the register, check conflicts, calculate fees and track deadlines — built around Nepal's IP system.
Independent by design — IP Watch Nepal is independently operated and is not affiliated with or endorsed by the Department of Industry or WIPO.
