Intellectual property protection & registration services in Dhaka, Bangladesh

A growing business owns more than office equipment, stock or machinery. The brand people recognise, the logo on a product, a new invention, software, product design or original content can become valuable business assets. If ownership is unclear or the asset stays unprotected, problems may come later. Copying, unauthorised use, investor questions or disputes can become much harder to deal with once the business has already grown.

GTM Consultancy provides intellectual property services in Dhaka, Bangladesh for startups, established companies, investors and foreign businesses. We provide legal & compliance, trademark, patent, industrial design and copyright matters, along with IP ownership and related documentation. The focus is practical. We look at what the business owns, what may need protection and which registration or documentation route fits the asset.

Call us at +880 1713 155299 to review your IP requirements and take the right steps before an important business asset is left exposed.

Intellectual Property Protection and Registration services in Dhaka, Bangladesh

What is intellectual property?

Intellectual property (IP) covers creations, ideas and commercial identifiers that can receive legal protection. For a business, this may include its brand name, logo, invention, product appearance, software, written materials or other original work. Intellectual property rights help establish who owns an asset and how another person or company may use, license or transfer it. Bangladesh uses different laws and registration systems for different types of IP.

  • Trademarks: Protect business names, logos, product names and other marks that identify goods or services in the market.
  • Patents: Protect eligible inventions and technical solutions that meet the requirements of Bangladesh patent law.
  • Industrial Designs: Protect the visual appearance of eligible products, including shape, pattern, configuration and aesthetic features.
  • Copyright: Protect eligible original works such as software, written content, artwork and other creative materials.

Our intellectual property services in Dhaka, Bangladesh

Not every business needs the same type of IP protection. A retail brand may mainly need trademark support, while a technology company may need to look at software ownership, copyright and licensing as well. We first look at the asset, existing documents and business use, then guide the next steps.

Trademark search and registration support

We support trademark registration in Bangladesh for company brands, product names, logos and other commercial marks. Our work may include preliminary search, identifying the relevant class, preparing application documents and supporting the filing process.

Trademark search and registration support

Patent application support

A new technical solution or invention may qualify for patent protection, depending on the legal requirements. We help businesses and inventors organise the necessary information, documents and filing work for a patent application in Bangladesh.

Patent application support

Industrial design registration

For some products, the appearance itself has commercial value. We support industrial design registration where a business wants to protect eligible features such as a product's shape, pattern, configuration or visual presentation.

Industrial design registration

Copyright registration support

Software, written materials, graphics and other original works may involve copyright issues. We support copyright registration in Bangladesh by helping clients organise the relevant information and documents for submission to the appropriate authority.

Copyright registration support

IP ownership and documentation review

Ownership can become unclear when founders, employees, freelancers, agencies or related companies create intellectual property. We review available records and help identify gaps in IP ownership documentation before those gaps create problems during investment, licensing or business growth.

IP ownership and documentation review

IP assignment and licensing support

Sometimes an IP asset needs to move from one party to another. In other cases, the owner wants another company to use it while keeping ownership. We support IP assignment and licensing documentation for these commercial arrangements.

IP assignment and licensing support

IP portfolio review and management

A growing company may hold several trademarks, designs, copyright assets or pending applications. We help businesses organise their IP portfolio, review ownership information and keep track of important renewal or record-update requirements.

IP portfolio review and management

Intellectual property due diligence

IP can matter during investment, acquisition, partnership and restructuring. Our IP due diligence support helps businesses review registrations, ownership records, pending applications and related documentation before a major transaction moves ahead.

IP renewal and record update support

Registration is not always the end of the work. Some rights need renewal, while changes in ownership, address or other information may need to be recorded. We support businesses with relevant IP renewal and record updates where required.

Why intellectual property protection matters for a business?

A business can spend years building a brand, developing a product or creating software. Poor IP planning can leave that value harder to control later. Proper intellectual property protection helps make ownership clearer and gives the business a better position when the asset is used, licensed, transferred or challenged.

  • Protect your brand identity
  • Keep ownership clear
  • Support future expansion
  • Create licensing opportunities
  • Prepare for investment reviews
  • Handle misuse more clearly

Why intellectual property protection matters for a business

Which authority handles intellectual property registration in Bangladesh?

There is no single office for every form of intellectual property in Bangladesh. The authority depends on whether the matter involves a trademark, patent, industrial design, geographical indication or copyright. Choosing the correct authority from the beginning avoids unnecessary confusion in the filing process.

Department of Patents, Designs and Trademarks (DPDT)

The Department of Patents, Designs and Trademarks (DPDT) handles trademark, patent, industrial design and geographical indication matters in Bangladesh. The office works under the Ministry of Industries and deals with applications, examination, registration records and related procedures.

Bangladesh Copyright Office

The Bangladesh Copyright Office deals with copyright-related registration and records. Businesses and creators may use the office for eligible software, literary works, artistic works and other copyright matters covered by Bangladesh law.

Intellectual property support for foreign companies in Bangladesh

A foreign company entering Bangladesh should not assume that its overseas brand registration or existing business documents automatically settle every local IP issue. Brand ownership, technology use, product designs and licensing arrangements may all need a Bangladesh-specific review. We help overseas businesses organise these matters before or during local market entry.

  • Trademark protection for foreign brands entering Bangladesh
  • Patent filing support for foreign inventions and technologies
  • Industrial design protection for products sold in Bangladesh
  • Copyright support for software and creative business assets
  • Review of ownership between parent and local companies
  • Licensing and assignment documents for Bangladesh operations
  • IP review before investment or Bangladesh market entry

Intellectual property for startups and growing businesses

Startups often create IP before anyone formally calls it an IP asset. A founder chooses a name. A developer writes software. A designer creates a logo. A new product takes shape. Early IP planning helps put ownership and protection in better order before outside investment, rapid growth or a dispute makes the issue urgent.

  • Brand names and logos
  • Software and digital products
  • New products and inventions
  • Founder-created intellectual property
  • Employee and contractor work
  • Licensing and commercial use
  • Investment and due diligence
  • Expansion into new markets

Intellectual property in investment, licensing and business transactions

Intellectual property can affect a company's value during an investment or commercial deal. Investors and buyers may want to know whether a brand actually belongs to the company, whether software ownership is documented and whether another party has rights over an important asset. A clean IP ownership and licensing structure makes these questions easier to answer.

  • Investment due diligence
  • Mergers and acquisitions
  • IP licensing agreements
  • Assignment of intellectual property
  • Joint venture arrangements
  • Franchise and distribution agreements
  • Technology and software transactions
  • Business sale and restructuring

How our intellectual property service process works

IP work becomes easier when the asset, owner and purpose are clear from the start. We follow a practical process instead of treating every matter as the same filing job. That helps keep the documents, authority and next steps easier to understand.

Identify the intellectual property asset

We first look at the brand, invention, design, software or creative work that needs attention.

1.

Review ownership and existing records

We check registrations, agreements and available documents to understand the current IP ownership position.

2.

Choose the suitable protection route

We identify whether the matter relates to a trademark, patent, industrial design, copyright or another IP issue.

3.

Prepare the application documents

We organise the forms, descriptions and supporting papers required for the relevant IP registration process.

4.

File and follow up with the authority

We support submission and procedural follow-up with DPDT or the Bangladesh Copyright Office, as applicable.

5.

Manage post-registration requirements

Where needed, we support renewals, ownership changes, licensing, assignment and ongoing IP portfolio management.

6.

FAQs about intellectual property services in Dhaka, Bangladesh

Business owners usually have a few practical questions before starting an IP application. The answers below cover common issues around intellectual property registration, ownership and protection in Bangladesh.

What types of intellectual property can a business protect in Bangladesh?

Bangladesh has legal frameworks for trademarks, patents, industrial designs, copyright and geographical indications. The right option depends on the asset. A logo may need trademark protection, for example, while an invention or product appearance may fall under patent or industrial design law.

Does registering a company automatically protect its name as a trademark?

No. Company registration and trademark registration do different jobs. Registering a company does not by itself provide the same protection as registering a trademark for particular goods or services. A business using an important brand name should review its trademark position separately.

Can a foreign company protect its intellectual property in Bangladesh?

Yes. A foreign business may seek IP protection in Bangladesh subject to the applicable law, filing process and documentation requirements. It is sensible to review important brands, inventions and designs before starting major local sales, licensing or distribution activity.

Does copyright protection require registration in Bangladesh?

Copyright protection and copyright registration are not exactly the same thing. Eligible original works may receive protection under copyright law, while the Bangladesh Copyright Office also maintains a registration system. Registration can provide an official record of relevant information about the work and ownership.

Can intellectual property rights be transferred or licensed to another company?

Yes, depending on the type of IP and applicable legal requirements. An owner may assign a right to another party or allow another business to use it under a licence. The agreement should clearly state ownership, permitted use and other relevant commercial terms.

When should a business review its intellectual property?

Do it before an important change, not only after a problem appears. Useful times include launching a new brand, developing a product, taking investment, appointing a distributor, entering Bangladesh, licensing technology, restructuring or preparing for a merger or acquisition.
