Source code theft emerges as a growing threat to Nepal’s software industry

Source code theft has emerged as an escalating threat to Nepal's software industry. According to industry reports, former employees and internal insiders are increasingly stealing proprietary software code and using it to create rival products.

Local companies targeted by these security breaches frequently suffer heavy financial losses as a result of the intellectual property theft. Compounding the issue, available legal remedies in Nepal remain slow and limited, often leaving businesses exposed for extended periods before any formal cases can be successfully resolved.
