Common Questions

Before you reach out

Straight answers on renewals, international clients, lapsed marks, and what to send to get started.

How long does a trademark renewal take?

It depends on the registrar's current workload and how complete your documentation is going in. I'll give you a realistic, case-specific estimate once I've reviewed your filing.

Do you work with clients outside Nepal?

Yes — a good portion of the portfolios I manage belong to international clients who need local representation and coordination with Nepalese authorities.

What if my registration has already lapsed?

There are often still options, depending on how long it's been. Get in touch and I'll walk you through what's realistic for your specific case.

What do you need from me to get started?

Usually your existing registration certificate or application number, and any prior correspondence with the registrar. I'll flag anything else once I've had a look.

Do you handle new filings, or just existing portfolios?

My day-to-day focus is post-registration work — renewals, assignments, licensing, and portfolio management — but I work closely with the firm's attorneys on new filings too, so reach out either way.
