Protecting Innovation, Creativity, and Brands Across Pakistan
At Legum, we offer end-to-end legal services in Intellectual Property (IP) Law, assisting individuals, businesses, and multinational companies in protecting and enforcing their rights across Pakistan. Our team has significant experience in both contentious and transactional IP matters, combining technical knowledge with a commercially strategic approach.
We work within Pakistan’s primary IP legal framework — including the Trade Marks Ordinance, 2001, the Copyright Ordinance, 1962, and the Patents Ordinance, 2000 — and regularly represent clients before IPO-Pakistan, the Intellectual Property Tribunal (IP Tribunal), and the High Court of Sindh.
Our team has successfully handled complex IP disputes before the IP Tribunal and the High Courts, including trademark infringement, passing off, copyright violations, and patent-related litigation. We also routinely advise international clients on IP licensing structures in mergers and acquisitions, distribution and agency agreements, and standalone IP licensing transactions, along with managing trademark renewals, enforcement, and portfolio strategy.
