How to register a trademark in Uzbekistan

  1. Search earlier marks for conflicts (a search can be requested from the office).
  2. File an application with the Ministry of Justice for one mark, listing goods and services grouped by Nice class, with proof of payment of the fee.
  3. The Ministry posts the application details on its website within one working day of filing, and third parties may submit written comments on bad-faith filings.
  4. Formal examination is carried out within 30 days of filing.
  5. Substantive examination is carried out no earlier than 6 and no later than 7 months from filing.
  6. If the decision is positive, pay the registration fee; the mark is entered in the State Register within 3 working days of proof of payment.
  7. Registration is published in the official bulletin and an electronic certificate is issued.

Examination, publication and opposition

  • Examination: The Ministry of Justice conducts a formal examination within 30 days of filing and a substantive examination within 7 months (but not earlier than 6 months) of the filing date.
  • Publication: Application details are posted on the Ministry's website within one working day of filing; registrations are published in the office's official bulletin.
  • Opposition period: No formal opposition period is set by the law; interested parties may file written comments on bad-faith applications after the application is posted on the Ministry's website (in practice before the substantive examination, which starts no earlier than 6 months from filing).

Protection, renewal and use

  • Term: 10 years from the filing date, renewable.
  • Late renewal: 6 months after expiry (renewal request otherwise filed in the last year of validity)
  • Use requirement: a registration can be challenged after 3 years of non-use.
  • Rights system: first to file.

Filing from abroad

  • Local agent: The trademark law itself only requires a power of attorney when filing through a patent attorney; secondary sources report that foreign applicants must act through a patent attorney registered in Uzbekistan.
  • Language: Uzbek (state language); Russian is also used in practice

Good to know in Uzbekistan

  • Uzbekistan has no fixed opposition period: applications are posted online the day after filing and third parties can submit bad-faith comments before examination.
  • Substantive examination cannot start earlier than 6 months after filing, so registration generally takes at least that long.
  • A registration can be cancelled by court decision if the mark has not been used continuously for 3 years.
  • After a registration lapses, the same mark cannot be registered by another person for 3 years after expiry.
  • Uzbekistan joined the Madrid Protocol on 27 December 2006 and denounced the older Madrid Agreement.
