Common questions
Is registering my business name the same as a trademark?
No. Company or firm registration does not give exclusive rights in a brand. Trademark registration with IPO-Pakistan is a separate process.
How long does trademark protection last?
A registered trademark in Pakistan is valid for ten years and can be renewed indefinitely for further ten-year periods.
