Intellectual property protection in Bhutan is governed by a structured statutory regime administered by the Department of Media, Creative Industry & Intellectual Property (DoMCIIP) under the Ministry of Industry Commerce and Employment (MOICE). Whether protecting brands, inventions, creative works, or product designs, rights holders must comply with precise legal procedures to ensure enforceability.

IP Bhutan, operated by Basnet Attorneys & Law,  provides end-to-end intellectual property services in Bhutan for local businesses, startups, creators, and international rights holders. Our practice is law-led, compliance-driven, and focused on securing enforceable IP rights under Bhutanese legislation.
