Kathmandu Gas Exchange Halted Amid Crowds

Published about 2 hours ago

The distribution and exchange of different brands of LPG cylinders in the Kathmandu Valley, initiated by the Nepal Oil Corporation and the Nepal LP Gas Industry Association to ease shortages, has been halted due to overwhelming crowds at distribution centers. Originally planned until October 16, the special exchange counters closed on Wednesday, with regular distribution resuming through local dealers from Thursday. Officials noted that while gas imports from India remain sufficient—even exceeding normal monthly consumption—challenges persist due to unmanaged empty cylinders from a previous half-cylinder distribution policy, weak supply chains, and panic buying. The Nepal Oil Corporation has assured consumers that gas supplies will normalize across the valley by the upcoming Dashain festival, despite the current distribution bottlenecks.

Trademark registration of 'Perfect Center Fillz' cancelled

Published about 12 hours ago

On October 12 in Kathmandu, Nepal, the Department of Industry cancelled the trademark registration for 'Perfect Center Fillz' chewing gum, owned by Perfect Foods Pvt. Ltd. based in Duhabi, Sunsari. This action followed a crucial Supreme Court ruling (case no. 077-CI-0301) which determined that the mark was confusingly similar to the well-known 'Center Fruit' trademark belonging to the Italian confectionery giant Perfetti Van Melle S.p.A. The court emphasized that trademark evaluation must consider overall visual appearance, pronunciation, and market impression rather than just individual words. Legal experts view this decision as a major step toward strengthening intellectual property rights and protecting established brands from infringement in Nepal under the Patent, Design and Trademark Act, 2022.
