Traditionally, trademarks were regarded as useful instruments for the identification of the source thus legal protection was provided to them. However, recently, trademarks have advanced as efficient instruments for both commercial and social communication in a fresh yet difficult environment. This article attempts to evaluate and analyze the present trademark regime in Pakistan and proposes changes as deemed necessary. The study highlights Trademark law gaps, comparing foreign statutes and international standards. The main objective of the legislation of Trademark Ordinance 2001, as evident from its preamble, was to provide a mechanism for registration, protection of trademarks, and prevention of fraudulent marks. Similarly, an imprudent buyer should not be deceived and no confusion should come into the mind of a layman which may mislead him to buy a product of one manufacturer for the other while considering it to be the same, that he actually wanted to purchase.
