Earlier this week, John Cabeca (USA Intellectual Property Attache for South Asia) and Rob Folley (Economic Affairs Officer US Embassy) visited Majid Bashir, Senior Partner at ABS & Co’s Islamabad office, and discussed issues concerning enforcement and implementation of intellectual property rights in Pakistan. The enforcement and protection of intellectual property rights in Pakistan is very weak which discourages investors from brining in foreign investment into the country.
They discussed the possibility of working with UPSTO to hold IPR sessions for greater awareness in Pakistan.
