The short answer
Trademark registration in Bangladesh has seven stages: search, filing, examination, publication, opposition, registration, renewal. You act at filing, in reply to objections, and at renewal. The DPDT acts in between. Registration is valid for 7 years from the filing or priority date, then renewable for 10 years each time.
