Laws that deal with the protection and enforcement of the rights of creators and owners of inventions, writing, music, designs, and other works are considered “intellectual property.” Protection of intellectual property includes registering the trademark, patent, or copyright to obtain the greatest rights available for the client’s asset.
Other areas of practice may involve licensing, due diligence in connection with mergers or acquisitions, and developing strategies for international and domestic intellectual property protection.
IDCLA offers comprehensive solutions for the management and safeguarding of intellectual property rights across diverse sectors. The team of knowledgeable professionals assists clients in protecting their trademarks, inventions, and creative works, ensuring they can fully benefit from their intellectual assets.
The realm of Intellectual Property Law encompasses a variety of services:
● Patent Law
Our firm specializes in the agreement that governs the trade-related aspects of intellectual property rights, which is obligatory for all members of the World Trade Organization and establishes rigorous baseline standards for intellectual property rights. IDCLA engages in the exploration of options for implementing pharmaceutical patent regulations in Bangladesh that align with international agreements. Analytical examination and comparative assessments to address the first research inquiry, alongside a unique survey tool and interviews to explore the perspectives of stakeholders such as commercial entities in the pharmaceutical sector, regulatory authorities in Bangladesh, public health organizations, and scholars.
● Trademark Law
A trademark is a legally protected name, sign, or symbol that distinguishes one company’s goods from others. Trademark rights can be established in a country through registration, use, or both. Though trademark registration is optional in Bangladesh, it is normally required for legal protection. A certificate of registration from a government entity is considered sufficient evidence. Our team focuses on trademark protection in Bangladesh, including legal remedies for infringement, addressing implementation issues, and paving avenues.
● Copyright Law
Copyright is related to exclusive monopoly rights in literature, drama, music, art, cinematography, and sound recordings. Copyrights are becoming more important, but without enforcement mechanisms, legislation, or plagiarizing activities, protecting them will be impossible. To defend copyright authors’ rights and privileges, the government should take further actions to fight piracy by establishing a powerful enforcement agency. The government should enforce the Act of 2000 and its amendments to protect creators’ copyrights, especially authors’. Our chamber works as per Bangladesh’s copyright act, the Copyright Act 2000, and common copyright impediments and solutions.
● Geographical Indication
A geographical indicator (GI) is a symbol placed on items with a distinct geographical origin and traits or reputation. Geographical indications usually list the goods’ origin. Our team focuses on geographical indications such as intellectual property, legal instruments for protecting it, Bangladesh’s condition, and GI issues. We also conduct research regarding such issues that are used as secondary data. Some GI difficulties in Bangladesh have been recognized, and recommendations have been made to overcome them.
● Litigation and Dispute Resolution
IDCLA provides efficient and reasonably priced alternatives to traditional litigation through mediation and arbitration services, defending against claims of infringement and upholding clients’ intellectual property rights in intellectual property disputes.
