Anti-counterfeiting policies and strategies are
either ineffective or are not used properly by
government officers. This gives counterfeiters
enough time to get away or lighter punishments
if
they
are
caught.
LEGISLATION
Pakistan's legislation has been amended
periodically to bring it into line with the
requirements of the Agreement on Trade-Related
Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPs).
Relevant provisions have also been incorporated
into or reflected in other laws, such as the
Customs Act 1969, the Drugs Act 1976, the
Federal Investigation Act 1974 and the Penal
Code, in order to strengthen the authorities' hand
in enforcing IP rights.
