Questions
Technology, IP and Data: answers.
Short answers to the questions clients ask technology lawyers in Bangladesh before they instruct us.
Book consultation →Does Bangladesh have a data protection law?
Bangladesh has introduced a dedicated personal data protection framework alongside its cyber security legislation. Businesses that collect personal data in Bangladesh should review consent, security, retention and cross-border transfer practices against the current rules.
Do fintech and payment businesses need a licence in Bangladesh?
Payment system operators and payment service providers are licensed and supervised by Bangladesh Bank. The right licence depends on the business model, so the product should be mapped against the regulations before launch.
How do I register a trademark in Bangladesh?
Applications are filed with the Department of Patents, Designs and Trademarks under the Trademarks Act 2009. After examination the mark is published for opposition and, if unopposed, registered. A clearance search before filing avoids costly objections.
Can technology lawyers in Bangladesh help with software and SaaS contracts?
Yes. We draft and negotiate licences, SaaS and outsourcing agreements, data processing terms and service levels, with governing law and dispute clauses that can be enforced in Bangladesh.
What happens if my software or brand is copied in Bangladesh?
Options include cease and desist letters, administrative action, civil proceedings for injunctions and damages and, in some cases, criminal complaints. The right route depends on the evidence and the commercial goal.
