How do I register a trademark for my brand or business name in Pakistan?

Someone is copying my brand, logo or business name. What can I do?

If someone is using your protected or potentially protectable brand without permission, we review the circumstances and available evidence. Where appropriate, we can issue a legal notice and pursue further action to protect your trademark and business interests.
