By examining the legal frameworks, case studies, and cross-cultural nuances, this study sheds light on how each country addresses trademark infringement challenges in the digital landscape.

The research methodology entails a comparative approach, utilizing legal documents, case studies, and relevant regulations to analyze and compare regulatory responses. Through a focused investigation into trademark infringement regulations in each country, this research delves into the similarities and variations in approaches taken by Pakistan, China, and the US
