Process for Obtaining a Patent in Pakistan:
To register a patent in Pakistan, you must follow the process set by the Intellectual Property Organization of Pakistan (IPO-Pakistan). Here are the details of the patent registration process in Pakistan:
(1) Filing:
The first step is to file a patent application with the IPO-Pakistan. Furthermore the application must include the following information:
- Applicant’s name, address, and nationality.
- Title of the invention.
- Description of the invention, including its technical field and any relevant drawings.
- Claims that define the scope of the invention.
- Abstract summarizing the invention.
- Details of any priority application (if applicable), including the application number, filing date, and country of the priority application.
If you’re seeking patent protection in Pakistan, it’s advisable to consult with a local intellectual property attorney or agent to guide you through the application process and ensure compliance with the relevant laws
(2) Formal Examination:
After submitting the patent application, it undergoes a formal examination by IPO-Pakistan to verify that all required information and documents are included. If any deficiencies are identified, you will be given a specific timeframe to address and correct them.
(3) Substantive Examination:
After publication, the patent application undergoes a substantive examination to assess its patentability. The examination determines whether the invention meets the criteria of novelty, inventive step, and industrial applicability. The IPO-Pakistan may request additional information or conduct an interview with the applicant during this process.
(4) Publication:
Once the patent application is found to be in order, it is published in the Patent Gazette by the IPO-Pakistan. The publication includes the title of the invention, the applicant’s name, and a brief summary of the invention.
(5) Grant of Patent:
If the IPO-Pakistan is satisfied with the examination results and there are no objections or oppositions raised, a patent is granted. The applicant will receive a notification of the patent grant and the patent is published in the Patent Gazette.
(6) Term and Maintenance:
In Pakistan, the term of a patent is 20 years from the filing date. However, annual maintenance fees must be paid to keep the patent in force. These fees increase each year.
It’s important to note that the patent registration process can be complex, and it is recommended to consult with a qualified patent attorney or agent to ensure the accuracy and completeness of your application. They can guide you through the process and help protect your intellectual property rights effectively.
