Protect your brand name, logo, and slogan legally with trademark registration through the Intellectual Property Organization (IPO) of Pakistan. TaxAccountant.pk handles your complete IPO trademark application — from TM-55 search to final certificate — so your brand is protected from infringement.
⚠️ Your Brand Is Unprotected Until Registered — Anyone can legally copy your name or logo before you register with IPO Pakistan. File your trademark today.
Trademark registration is the process of legally protecting your brand name, logo, slogan, or symbol through the Intellectual Property Organization of Pakistan (IPO Pakistan) under the Trademarks Ordinance, 2001. A registered trademark gives you the exclusive right to use your mark in Pakistan, prevents others from using a similar mark in your industry, and allows you to take legal action against infringement. Registration is done per NICE Classification class — each class covers a specific category of goods or services. TaxAccountant.pk manages the full process from IPO trademark search (TM-55) to application filing (TM-1) and certificate delivery.
Without a registered trademark, competitors can legally use a similar name or logo in your industry — destroying your brand equity.
Wrong class selection, conflicting marks, or incomplete TM-1 application causes IPO to reject or object to your trademark.
Filing without an IPO trademark availability search wastes application fees — a conflicting mark means certain rejection.
Pakistan uses 45 NICE Classification classes — registering in the wrong class leaves your brand unprotected in your actual industry.
Only a registered trademark gives you the legal right to sue infringers in Pakistani courts and claim damages.
IPO show cause notices and third-party opposition filings can block your registration — expert response is critical to succeed.
Any business, brand, or individual using a name, logo, or slogan in commerce in Pakistan should register their trademark with IPO Pakistan to secure legal protection.

Trademark registration is the legal process of protecting your brand name, logo, or slogan through the Intellectual Property Organization (IPO) of Pakistan under the Trademarks Ordinance, 2001.

The NICE Classification divides goods and services into 45 classes (Classes 1-34 for goods, Classes 35-45 for services).
