Intellectual Property

Ashtar Ali & Rahim LLP advises businesses, creative professionals, technology companies, and multinational brands on the protection, enforcement, and commercialisation of intellectual property rights in Pakistan. Our work includes trademark registration, copyright and design compliance, patent advisory, and licensing arrangements across a range of industries, including technology, media, animation, manufacturing, and e-commerce. We guide clients through filings while supporting broader brand-protection and IP-portfolio strategies.

The firm represents clients in infringement actions, passing-off claims, counterfeit-goods seizures, and IP-related contractual disputes before the High Courts, specialised IP tribunals, and regulatory forums. We assist with licensing and technology-transfer agreements, IP issues in M&A transactions, and regulatory matters involving product labelling, advertising, and consumer-protection compliance. With offices in Lahore and Islamabad, we support businesses operating and investing in Pakistan in safeguarding and commercialising their intellectual property in rapidly developing markets and digital environments.
