Chairman Intellectual Property Organization (IPO) of Pakistan and former Ambassador Farrukh Amil said that Incorporating Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) into the national education curriculum can play a transformative role in harnessing the creative potential of Pakistan\u2019s youth.
\nHe was addressing members of business community during a meeting at the Faisalabad Chamber of Commerce and Industry (FCCI).
\nHe said that intellectual property had become a cornerstone of modern innovation-driven economies and it is imperative that Pakistani students and entrepreneurs are made aware of its value from an early stage.
\n\u201cBy introducing IPR education within the national curriculum, we can cultivate a culture of creativity, protection and profitability\u201d, he said, noting that IPO registration enables companies to secure their trademarks and protect their brand identity against misuse.
\nThe IPO Chairman stressed the need for stronger institutional collaboration between government, academia and private sector to promote awareness about intellectual property and ensure entrepreneurs are well-equipped to compete in the global marketplace.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen creative ideas are properly protected, these not only contribute to individual prosperity but also fuel national economic growth\u201d, he added.
\nIn his welcome address, FCCI President Farooq Yousaf Sheikh said that intellectual property protection is not only vital today but will be indispensable in the future of modern business.
\nHe called for the launch of an organized awareness campaign to educate entrepreneurs about the practical benefits of IPR. \u201cThe chamber is fully prepared to play a leading role in promoting IPO\u2019s objectives among the business community\u201d, he added.
\nHe also urged the authorities to establish facilities for trademark, copyright and patent registration within Faisalabad for enabling local businesses to access services conveniently.
\n\u201cIf immediate establishment is not feasible, a dedicated IPO help desk at FCCI can serve as a practical alternative to assist traders and industrialists in registration matters\u201d, he added.
\nRepresentatives from various business organizations and industrial associations operating in Faisalabad participated in the meeting which reflected strong interest from the private sector in intellectual property protection.
\nThe participants also viewed a documentary film highlighting IPO\u2019s initiatives and achievements.
\nLater, Senior Vice President FCCI Naveed Akram Sheikh presented vote of thanks while FCCI President Farooq Yousaf Sheikh presented a commemorative collar pin, a souvenir and gifts to IPO Chairman Farrukh Amil on the Chamber\u2019s Golden Jubilee anniversary.
\nFarrukh Amil also reciprocated an IPO shield to FCCI President as a gesture of mutual appreciation and institutional partnership.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
