We have extensive experience in entering trademarks into the Tajikistani Customs Register. The trademark owners are entitled to enter their trademarks into the Customs Register. This helps prevent counterfeits entering the country, as well as “parallel imports”. Thus, recording trademarks with the Tajik Customs Register is a highly recommended step which ensures better protection of trademark owners’ rights.

We provide services to conduct regular monitoring of trademarks in Tajikistan in order to discover attempts of registration of trademarks or designations similar to them by other persons. The regular monitoring includes on-line monitoring, sending cease and desist letters, out-of-court negotiations in Tajikistan.

Trademarks fulfil their function not only when they are actually used on or for goods or services, but also when they are used in advertising.
