Legal framework
What is the statutory or other source of trademark
rights?
Trademark rights are regulated by a separate Law of the Republic
of Uzbekistan "On trademarks, service marks and names of place
of origin of goods" (№ 267-II, dated August 30, 2001,
hereinafter referred to as the Trademark Law). This law, among
other rules, defines legal aspects for trademark registration,
types of trademarks, trademark protection, such as the scope of
exclusive rights, types of trademark use, trademark enforcement,
trademark invalidation, as well as a number of other legal
instruments necessary for trademark prosecution in Uzbekistan.
The above legal norms are partially reflected in the Civil Code
of the Republic of Uzbekistan, which contains unified norms for IP
legislation. The Civil Code of the Republic of Uzbekistan
establishes general principles for the protection of trademark
rights, while a separate law has a broader application in
practice.
