What is Textile (DoT) License ?
In Bangladesh, a Textile Directorate (DoT) License is essential for businesses involved in the textile sector, including buying houses that act as intermediaries between international buyers and local manufacturers. This license is issued by the Directorate of Textiles and serves as an official permit to conduct operations related to textile production, trading, and sourcing.
A buying house typically manages the export of ready-made garments (RMG) and other textile products by liaising between foreign clients and local garment manufacturers. Having a DoT License ensures that buying houses meet regulatory standards, maintain ethical business practices, and operate within the legal framework set by the Bangladesh government.

But the copyright registration is a pre-requisite to avoid any possible conflict over the ownership of intellectual property. Being a member country of WIPO, World Trade Organization (WTO) and the signatory at Berne Convention, Universal Copyright Registration Convention, and Bangladesh is bound to abide by all conditions of these conventions related to copyright and the Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPS) Agreement. The Bangladesh Copyright Act 2000 was enacted incorporating the nationally and globally important provisions of all major international copyright rules. It was further amended in 2005 for updating.
