2.提交申请：申请人将准备好的商标申请材料向商标注册处提交申请，并缴纳注册申请费；
3.形式审查：申请递交后对提交的申请文件、商标图样、委托书等文件进行的合法性审查;符合规定的，将授予申请日和申请号;
4.实质审查：根据法律审查商标是否具有可注册性，对于不通过实质审查的商标，审查官将书面通知申请人并告知驳回理由。申请人在接到该驳回通知之日起限期内可提交复审，否则，该申请将被视为放弃，申请日和申请号均不予保留;
5.公告：经审查，审查官认为商标申请可以被接受后，便会在巴基斯坦官方商标公告上刊登公告。巴基斯坦公告期为2个月，在2个月内未被他人提出异议申请，商标申请将进入核定注册程序；
6.商标注册：经异议被裁定可以注册的商标， 或经公告没有异议的商标将获准注册并下发注册证。
注：a.商标申请的注册周期比较长，从提交申请到顺利注册时间约为31个月-41个月左右。
b.与我国不同，巴基斯坦的商标注册日为注册商标的申请日，商标注册的有效期是从商标申请日起算10年。商标在期满前可以进行续展，如果商标权利人在期满日前未提交续展申请，商标也可在期满日后的6个月内进行续展，在这个期间内 ，除首次商标续展申请外，审查员可以要求商标权利人提交商标使用证据。
如果商标权利人在上述期限内不进行商标续展，审查员将直接取消该商标的权利。
商标使用证明
商标必须于注册日起5年内使用，以避免成为商标未使用的撤销目标。商标未使用亦可能造成无法延展的问题。
如实际使用的商标与注册商标，略以不同的形式使用，并不会影响商标注册之效力，并且只要不是变更商标的本质，即原则上允许该情况。已注册的商标不可透过修改变更，在必要情况之下，建议重新提交申请案。
商标异议程序
商标注册申请从公告或再公告日起2个月内或审查员同意的2个月以内的延长期间内，任何人依法均可以书面形式向审查员提出异议申请。异议申请人（下称异议人）提交异议申请时，需要附带异议理由的陈述书。
审查员收到异议理由书后，需向商标注册申请人送达异议理由书的副本，被异议人接收异议理由书副本后1个月内或在审查员同意延期内进行书面答复。如果被异议人不对异议理由书进行答复，视为申请人放弃该商标注册申请。
如果被异议人对异议理由书进行了答复并提交书面的意见书，审查员会将意见书的复印件送达给异议人。异议人收到该意见书后的1个月内或在审查员同意延期内可以提交反驳书，并于收到意见书后的2个月内或在审查员同意延期内提交证据，如果异议人不向审查员提交证据，将视为放弃该异议申请。
审查员收到异议人提交的反驳书后需将其复印件送达给被异议人。被异议人收到异议人的证据复印件日起2个月内或在审查员同意延期内需要提交证据，该证据将由审查员送达给异议人。异议人接收到被异议人的证据后，需要在1个月内或在审查员同意延期的时间内提交“回复证据”，审查员收到异议人的“回复证据”后将其复印件送达给商标注册申请人。
审查员根据双方提供的证据无法据以裁决，将再进行听证再做出核准与否的裁定。对裁定不服者，可向高等法院提出诉讼。
