Process of Domain Registration in Pakistan

Seven Essential Steps to Protect Your Domain Name!

Filing a trademark is a crucial step in safeguarding your brand’s identity. Below are seven essential steps to guide you through the trademark registration process:

1. 1st Step: Conduct a Domain / Trademark Search
   Before filing, ensure that your domain name is unique and not already in use. Conduct a comprehensive search through relevant databases, including the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO), to check for similar trademarks.
2. 2nd Step: Choose the Appropriate Class
   Domain names are categorized into different classes based on the goods or services they represent. Determine the correct class(es) by referring to the USPTO’s Acceptable Identification of Goods and Services Manual.
3. 3rd Step: Prepare Your Application
   Gather the necessary information for your application, including a clear representation of your trademark (logo, wordmark, etc.), the goods or services it will cover, and details about the domain/trademark owner.
4. 4th Step: File the Application
   Submit your application via the Intellectual Property Office’s (IPO) Domain/Trademark Electronic Application System (TEAS). Choose the appropriate form (TEAS Plus or TEAS Standard) based on your needs, and pay the required filing fee.
5. 5th Step: Monitor the Application Status
   After submission, track the progress of your application through the Trademark Status and Document Retrieval (TSDR) system. You may receive an Office Action asking for additional information or clarification.
6. 6th Step: Respond to Office Actions
   If you receive an Office Action, respond quickly and comprehensively. Address any concerns or requests for further information as outlined by the IPO.
7. 7th Step: Receive Approval and Maintain Your Trademark
   If approved, your trademark will be officially published in the Official Gazette. If no opposition is raised within 60 days, your trademark will be registered. Maintain protection by filing required maintenance documents periodically.
8. Domain Name Registration Validity
   Once registered, your trademark is valid for ten years and can be renewed indefinitely, as long as the renewal fees are paid.

By following these steps, you can ensure that your domain name and trademark are properly protected and legally secure for the future.

Our service in Pakistan provides Domain Name Registration through the Trademark Registry (IPO), offering a comprehensive process to legally protect your brand’s identity. Additionally, a thorough search is conducted to ensure the desired domain is available and not claimed by another party.

In addition, this step is crucial to avoid legal conflicts and potential rejections. The search can be conducted using the Intellectual Property Organization of Pakistan (IPO-Pakistan) database, which provides comprehensive information on existing trademarks.
