Intellectual Property Laws in Pakistan: An Essential Guide
Intellectual Property (IP) is a vital aspect of business and innovation. The rights associated with IP—trademarks, copyrights, patents, and designs—are critical for protecting your work from misuse. Pakistan’s IP laws, governed by various statutes and international treaties, provide the necessary protections.
Trademarks in Pakistan are governed by the Trade Marks Ordinance, 2001. It helps protect a brand’s identity and prevent others from using similar marks that may cause confusion.
Copyrights, governed by the Copyright Ordinance, 1962, protect literary, musical, artistic, and cinematographic works. They grant the author exclusive rights to reproduce, distribute, and display the work.
Patents, administered under the Patents Ordinance, 2000, protect inventions. They give inventors the exclusive right to use, make, or sell their invention for a certain period.
