Trademark Registration: Protecting Your Brand in Pakistan

A registered trademark gives you the exclusive right to use your brand name, logo, or slogan in Pakistan. Without it, anyone can register your brand name right out from under you.

The Intellectual Property Organization of Pakistan (IPO-Pakistan) processes trademark applications. The first step is a trademark search to identify whether your mark clashes with existing registrations.

Your application is then filed with a clear graphical representation of the mark and the list of goods or services it covers. Examination typically takes several months, after which your trademark is published for opposition.

Once registered, a trademark is valid for 10 years and can be renewed indefinitely. It is a powerful legal tool when dealing with infringers and counterfeiters.

Even if you are a small business, protecting your name early costs a fraction of what recovery after infringement costs. Our IP advisors manage the full search, filing, and monitoring process.
