Abstract: Copyright, patents, and trademark laws are some of the branches of intellectual property rights that seek to prevent people from using other people’s work and ideas without their permission. To numerous creators and companies, it is a valuable and often under-tapped resource, namely, intellectual property. These laws help protect the works created and invented by individuals, and they can commercially benefit from their work. As a WTO member-state, through its participation in the Marrakesh Agreement that was signed on April 15th, 1994, Pakistan has had to standardize its IPR regimes in compliance with WTO norms. The WTO, effective January 1, 1995, expects signatory nations to enforce IP rights higher than agreements to the GATT. As a result of WTO reiterated protection standards, Pakistan has had to revise and modify its intellectual property regime to accord with the WTO stipulations.
