Online Trademark Filing is Underway in Pakistan
31-Jan-2019
KARACHI – As Pakistan has seen increasing applications for trademark registration in recent years, the Intellectual Property Organization of Pakistan (IPO) has developed a new web portal with high efficiency and transparency to file online applications for registration of trademark.
National companies and inventors seeking trademark protection in Pakistan will be able to file their trademark applications electronically, whereas foreign companies and inventors can file through their authorized representatives in Pakistan online by providing Power of attorney as usual, where they will gain strong enforcement and full protection for their IPRs.
The new system will initially cover the filing, and will be later extended for other trademark services.
The Trademark Office of Pakistan follows the 10th edition of the Nice Classification, and registration of trademarks are acceptable in classes 1 – 34 in respect of goods and classes 35 to 45 in respect of services. The Trademark Office of Pakistan accepts only single class applications.
