Trademark Fee Calculator
Estimate the official government fees for registering a trademark in Nepal. Fees are charged per NICE class, so protecting your brand in more classes costs more.
Filing across multiple classes (e.g. clothing + retail) needs one class each.
Government fees are set by the Department of Industry per NICE class and revised from time to time, so treat these as indicative and confirm the current figures with us. Our professional service fee is separate — get a quote.

How much does trademark registration cost in Nepal?
Trademark registration in Nepal carries official government fees charged per NICE class. For domestic applicants these are indicatively NPR 1,000 to file and NPR 5,000 to register each class — so the government cost of a single-class trademark is about NPR 6,000. This free calculator estimates the total by the number of classes you plan to file in.
How to use the trademark fee calculator
Select the applicant type, then enter the number of NICE classes your mark needs. The domestic estimate updates for every class. If you are unsure about the class count, identify the goods and services you actually sell and check them with the NICE Class Finder before relying on the estimate. Foreign filings are shown separately because their official fees and supporting-document requirements differ.
What the government fee covers
The fee has two parts. The application fee is paid when you file, and the registration fee becomes payable once the Department of Industry accepts your mark and it clears the publication and opposition stage. Both are set per class, so protecting your brand in more classes increases the total. Use the NICE Class Finder to confirm how many classes you actually need.
Per-class and multi-class filing
Because fees are per class, a two-class filing costs roughly twice a single-class filing at the government level. Many businesses need more than one class — for instance a product class plus a retail or services class — so budget for each. After registration, remember the renewal cost every seven years; the Renewal & Deadline Calculator helps you plan ahead.
Why the correct class count matters
Section 18A of the Patent, Design and Trade Mark Act requires a separate application for each class. One application does not automatically protect every product or service sold under the brand. Filing too narrowly may leave a commercial gap; filing unnecessary classes increases the official cost. A class estimate should therefore follow a clear list of the goods and services the business uses or genuinely plans to use.
What is not included
These figures are government fees only. Professional fees — for a clearance search, drafting your goods and services, filing and following the application through examination — are separate and quoted upfront; get a quote. Foreign applicants pay higher government fees and, under current Department of Industry practice, file through a local representative under a power of attorney; learn about registration or get a tailored quote.
Frequently asked questions
For domestic applicants the government fee is indicatively NPR 1,000 to file and NPR 5,000 to register per class — about NPR 6,000 in total for a single class. Professional service fees are separate. Foreign applicants pay more.
Yes. Nepal charges government fees per NICE class, so filing in two classes costs roughly double a single-class filing. Choosing only the classes you truly need keeps costs down.
Yes. Foreign applicants are charged higher government fees than domestic applicants. Under current Department of Industry practice, foreign filings are handled through a local representative under a power of attorney. Confirm the current fee and document checklist for the particular filing.
The application fee is paid at filing. The registration fee is paid later, once the Department of Industry accepts the mark and it passes the publication and 90-day opposition stage before registration is granted.
No. It estimates only the Department of Industry’s government fees. Professional fees for the clearance search, application drafting, filing and prosecution are quoted separately before you commit.
No. Section 18A of the Patent, Design and Trade Mark Act requires a separate application for each class. Each application carries its own application and registration fees.
Yes. Section 26A allows the Government of Nepal to change the fees in Schedule 3 by publishing a notice in the Nepal Gazette. The calculator therefore shows a review date and the figures should be confirmed before payment.
