This editorial examines systemic barriers, including limited intellectual property education, funding, and a focus on traditional careers, that hinder innovation. Highlighting the transformative role of patents, it proposes solutions like IP education, R&D centers, mentorship, and financial support. A collective call to action urges stakeholders to foster a culture of creativity and patenting, advancing Pakistan’s role in global dental science.</p>2024-12-27T00:00:00-06:00Copyright (c) 2024 ALTAMASH JOURNAL OF DENTISTRY AND MEDICINE
