Trademark Registration in Uzbekistan- Protect Your Brand Nationwide
Trademark protection in Uzbekistan is governed by the Law of the Republic of Uzbekistan on Trademarks, Service Marks, and Appellations of Origin of Goods and administered by the Intellectual Property Agency (IPA) under the Ministry of Justice. Uzbekistan follows a first-to-file system, and trademark rights arise only upon registration.
IPA conducts a formal and substantive examination, including examination for absolute grounds (distinctiveness, descriptiveness, public order) and relative grounds (conflicts with earlier registered or pending trademarks).
