Late Mr. Talib Ali was the founder of country’s prime IP office, the Trademarks Registry, when he was asked by the government of Pakistan to come to the new country to establish the IP order here. As a Deputy Registrar of the Registry, he started when there was nobody else of his stature in the department. After his retirement, in 1972, he founded the Ali & Associates. No wonder, with his experience of the field and the grasp of the issues relating to IP protection, his was very soon the leading IP firm of the country. He ran the firm to great heights till his demise in 1992. Till his last, he was an active partner, leading the firm from the front. Today, the energy and high spirit he had put in can still be felt in this extraordinary IP firm. Strength of over 40 partners, associates, attorneys, lawyers, and paralegals makes Ali & Associates a robust organization, capable of dealing with all issues relating to various fields of intellectual property registration and protection.
