::::::: Trade Mark

A trademark is any word, phrase, shape, design, color, sound or even smell that identifies and distinguishes one party's goods or services from those of others.

CNC offers the possibility to register your trade mark and design in the Pakistan.

There are benefits to registering the trademark.  For example, a company can ask Customs and Border Patrol to seize a competitor's items if they violate a registered trademark. A registered trademark holder is also entitled to statutory damages and injunctions against an infringer.

The Trade mark Authority does not accept every application to register a trademark.  First, a search must be made for competing marks, since the Trade mark Authority does not want to register a mark used by someone else first.  Second, some trademarks are not allowed.  After an application is filed, the Trade mark Authority sometimes initiates an "office action" questioning the claim. Competitors are offered an opportunity to oppose the registration application.

As part of the registration process, the Trade mark Authority requires that an "Agent" be listed in the trademark filing.  CNC services will serve as an Agent for our trademark clients.

This includes:

• Research to determine if any similar or competing marks exist;

• Preparation and submission of the trademark filing;

• Arrange for counsel to respond to Trade mark Authority "Office Actions"
