Role of Superior courts of Pakistan in Protecting Intellectual Property: An Analysis
The present age is the age of knowledge, and in this age, only those nations have gained honor and dignity that have turned this knowledge into wealth through inventions. Therefore, it is very important to give legal protection to these inventions so that the benefits of these inventions are limited to the person who owns them. Doing so raises not only social and economic development and living standard in society but also encourages other people to turn their knowledge into inventions. The real role in the protection of the intellectual property is played by the judiciary in any society. This study examines the role of superior courts in protecting intellectual property in Pakistan and concludes that Pakistan's superior courts have always played an important role in protecting intellectual property rights. All that is needed is to ensure speedy delivery of justice in such cases.
