History of the IP system in Bangladesh
The earliest legislation found to protect IP in Bangladesh was the Patents, Designs, and Trademarks Act of 1883. However, it was repealed, and the new Patents and Designs Act of 1911 and the Trademarks Act of 1940 were enacted respectively. Then, in 2003, both these Acts were amended, and the Departments of Patents, Designs, and Trademarks (DPDT) was created by merging two independently operational offices – the Patent Office and the Trademark Registry Office. The Trademarks Act 2009 was enacted after the Trademarks Ordinance was promulgated in 2008.✅ For view source: https://bit.ly/2E8lNjr
