We have extensive experience in entering trademarks into the Uzbekistani Customs Register. 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 Uzbekistani 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 Uzbekistan 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 Uzbekistan.

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. The use of trademarks in advertising in Uzbekistan requires an understanding of trademark law and the nuances involved. Their misuse in advertising can lead to legal complications. We partner with our clients to ensure compliance with local laws and, when necessary, provide assistance to defend our clients’ rights.

We help our clients to conduct IP due diligence and audits in Uzbekistan. In particular, we can identify and assess existing or potential issues relating to the intellectual property which clients find to be extremely useful in accurately valuing the deal.
