Trademark Protection, Index System, Pakistan, the UKAbstract
The protection of trademarks is a major difficulty for less and more developed countries which are investigated in this research that focuses on Pakistan and the UK. While previous studies have put so much emphasis on innovation and patents, trademarks stand out as just as great all over the economy sectors. The study will conduct a comparative analysis of trademark protection indices over a decade using secondary data from International Property Rights (IPRI) website. The study concludes some major weaknesses that are responsible for intellectual property rights violations both in Pakistan and UK in the present time. It is fact that there is need to have law reforming in both nations that will make them fall into line with those of fully developed ones. Finally, given these findings it is clear reforms are necessary where trademark protection are concerned and thus suggestions have been made towards improvement in each jurisdiction.
