Logo Similarity Search
Upload a logo and we’ll find visually similar marks already on Nepal’s register — a fast screening aid before you file or rebrand. This compares how logos look using image AI; it is not a legal “confusingly similar” verdict.
Visual similarity is a screening aid, not legal advice. A formal clearance also weighs names, phonetics and classes — learn more or talk to an expert.
Screen your logo against Nepal’s published marks
Two brands can share no letters yet still clash because their logos look alike — a similar shape, symbol or lockup. Nepal is first-to-file, so a look-alike device already on the register can block or oppose yours. A reverse-image logo search screens that risk in seconds: upload your mark and see the closest visual matches among registered logos before you invest in packaging, signage or a launch.
How the logo search works
Each registered logo is converted into a numerical “fingerprint” with a multimodal AI model, and your uploaded image is compared against them by visual similarity. The result is a ranked list of the closest-looking marks with a similarity score. It reflects appearance — shapes, symbols, composition — not the legal test for confusion, which also weighs sound, meaning and the goods involved.
How to read the matches
A high-scoring match in your field is a warning worth investigating; a distinctive logo with no close matches is encouraging. Because the tool screens images only, always pair it with a name search and, before you commit, a professional clearance across classes and phonetics.
Frequently asked questions
Logo screening is part of full search access. It runs a compute-heavy image comparison, so it is available to search-access holders. You can screen a name for free with the Trademark Conflict Checker.
No. It flags visual resemblance so you can look closer. Whether two marks are legally “confusingly similar” depends on the goods, the classes, phonetics and meaning — a professional assessment, not an image score.
A clear PNG, JPG or WebP of the logo on a plain background works best, up to 5 MB. Your image is analysed in memory to run the search and is not stored.
The registered-mark logos published in Nepal’s Industrial Property Bulletins. Very recent filings may not yet be published, so treat the result as an indicator, not the whole register.
