Trademark Registration in Pakistan
Protecting your brand identity is as important as building it. Irshad & Co. handles end-to-end trademark registration with the Intellectual Property Organization of Pakistan (IPO-Pakistan) — so your logo, name, and slogan are legally protected.
UNDERSTANDING TRADEMARKS
What is Trademark Registration in Pakistan?
A trademark is any distinctive sign — a name, logo, slogan, or combination — that identifies your goods or services and distinguishes them from competitors. In Pakistan, trademarks are registered under the Trade Marks Ordinance 2001, administered by the Intellectual Property Organization of Pakistan (IPO-Pakistan).
Once registered, your trademark gives you the exclusive legal right to use that mark in Pakistan for 10 years (renewable indefinitely). It allows you to take legal action against anyone who copies or misuses your brand identity — including counterfeiters and imitators.
Without registration, you have no formal legal protection. Anyone can copy your logo, name, or slogan — and you would have no grounds to stop them under Pakistani law. Irshad & Co. handles your complete trademark filing with IPO-Pakistan, from class selection to registration certificate.
