The Bangladesh Patent Law will come into effect on February 27, 2025

With the publication of the Official Gazette on February 12, 2025, the Bangladesh Government officially announced that the Bangladesh Patent Law, passed in 2023, will come into effect on February 27, 2025.

This reform replaces outdated laws in the process of modernizing Bangladesh's intellectual property legal framework and aligns it with international standards. Although the official text of the law is only published in Bengali, this change marks an important step forward in the protection and management of intellectual property rights in Bangladesh, providing patent applicants and holders with updated and more efficient legal support.

Understanding and adapting to this change will help companies gain an advantage in the patent layout of the Bangladeshi market. We recommend that you closely follow the specific provisions and implementation rules of the law to ensure that the patent application and protection work of companies in Bangladesh meets the latest legal requirements. In addition, establishing a cooperative relationship with local legal experts will help us understand and adapt to the impact of this legal change more quickly, thereby providing customers with accurate and efficient intellectual property services.
