Meesaq Arif, director of a government-run body that looks after intellectual property rights, has stated that awareness is crucial for the growth of businesses, but unfortunately the issue has not been properly addressed. Speaking at a workshop, he said awareness is crucial to effectively address issues of piracy and counterfeiting for the development of genuine businesses. The workshop was arranged by Islamabad Women Chamber of Commerce and Industry (IWCCI). “We are doing our level best to improve service delivery for intellectual property rights registration while we have close coordination with enforcement agencies including the FIA, Police, Pakistan Customs and PEMRA to effectively address issues of piracy and counterfeiting in the country,” he remarked.
