INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY LAWS

Brands, designs, and inventions are core business assets. Pakistan protects IP through the Trademarks Ordinance, 2001, Copyright Ordinance, 1962, Patents Ordinance, 2000, and Registered Designs Ordinance, 2000, administered by IPO-Pakistan and enforced via IP Tribunals, High Courts, and customs border measures. With Pakistan’s accession to the Madrid Protocol (2021), international filing and portfolio management have become more efficient for rights-holders.

We secure and enforce trademarks, copyrights, patents, and designs: clearance searches; filing and prosecution; oppositions and cancellations; renewals, assignments, licensing, and technology transfer. Our enforcement practice handles infringement and passing-off suits, Anton Piller and Mareva relief, domain and social-media takedowns, and Customs IPR recordation to intercept counterfeits at the border.

For innovators and brand owners expanding globally, we coordinate international filings, manage multi-jurisdictional disputes, and align IP strategy with funding, marketing, and exit plans. We also structure IP-heavy commercial contracts—franchise, distribution, SaaS, publishing, music/film, and software licenses—so your intangible assets generate measurable value.

Our lawyers have protected portfolios for high-value FMCG, apparel, and technology clients, obtaining urgent injunctive relief against counterfeiters and negotiating market-wide settlement frameworks that curbed infringement and preserved brand equity.
