The main government office for trademark registration in Dhaka is the Department of Patents, Designs and Trademarks (DPDT). It is located in Agargaon, Dhaka, within the Ministry of Industries complex. This is where all official trademark applications must be filed and processed in Bangladesh. The office handles trademark searches, application filings, oppositions, and renewals for the entire country, making it a central location for IP protection in Bangladesh. Trademark lawyers in Dhaka frequently visit this office to file applications and follow up on pending matters for their clients.

The intellectual property landscape in Dhaka has transformed significantly over the past decade through:

1. Legal reforms, including the implementation of the Trademarks Act of 2009 and updates to copyright laws
2. Increased IP filings, with trademark applications growing by over 20% annually
3. Growth of specialized IP law firms in Gulshan, Banani, and Motijheel commercial areas
4. Rising awareness among Dhaka’s IT sector about software patents and copyright protection
5. More IP enforcement actions in Dhaka courts, particularly for trademark infringement
6. Development of IP education programs at Dhaka University and other institutions

These changes reflect Dhaka’s growing role in Bangladesh’s innovation economy and increased integration with global IP systems.

Startups in Mirpur and Uttara areas should consult with trademark lawyers because these rapidly developing business districts in northern Dhaka house many new ventures that need brand protection. Trademark lawyers help these startups by conducting availability searches before brand launch, preventing costly rebranding if conflicts arise later. They navigate the specific requirements of Bangladesh’s trademark system, file applications properly with the Department of Patents, Designs and Trademarks, and facilitate trademark enforcement if necessary.
