Apex Law Chamber advises manufacturers, brand owners, importers, distributors and retailers of fast-moving consumer goods and other consumer products, from household and personal care items to electronics, apparel and packaged goods.
In consumer markets the brand and the packaging do most of the selling, so they are also what infringers copy. We help clients protect names, logos, labels, get-up and product designs, and we coordinate practical action against counterfeits, deceptively similar packaging, unauthorised imports and misleading online listings.
We also advise on how products reach the market: distribution, agency, contract manufacturing, licensing and retail arrangements that define territory, quality control, brand use and what happens when the relationship ends. For international brands entering Nepal, we combine brand protection with market-entry and distribution structuring.
Our FMCG, Retail & Consumer Goods work includes
- Trademark, trade dress and industrial design protection for products and packaging
- Anti-counterfeiting programmes, market investigation and enforcement action
- Parallel imports and grey-market goods
- Takedown of infringing listings on e-commerce and social media platforms
- Distribution, agency, contract manufacturing and licensing agreements
- Labelling, packaging and advertising claims review
- Franchising and brand expansion for retail businesses
