Abstract: Counterfeiting and piracy represent a significant danger to economic progress in Bangladesh. Extensive trademark infringement weakens legitimate organizations and government revenues while harming the national economy and safety. The research examines how Bangladesh’s outdated 2009 Trademark Act facilitates counterfeiting and embellishments. Identified critical problems include extended registration processes that leave companies in danger, significant loopholes for replicating packaging and intellectual clothes, insufficient sanctions that do not deter infringers, and a lack of customs checks to prevent counterfeit imports. Proposed legal reforms to rectify these inadequacies are examined. Updating Bangladesh’s trademark legislation is necessary to improve the strength of the nation’s intellectual property framework and realize its complete economic potential. This research examines the shortcomings in Bangladesh’s existing trademark law framework that facilitate widespread counterfeiting and investigates proposed legislative amendments that could rectify these flaws. This will analyze concerns about trademark registration processes, enforcement methods, customs protocols, and rights coverage under the current Trademark Act of 2009. The objective is to emphasize the necessity and methods for modernizing Bangladeshi trademark legislation to protect intellectual property rights and combat widespread counterfeiting. Counterfeiting has grown to chronic proportions in Bangladesh, resulting in national economic losses that have exceeded
