Patent registration is the legal process of registering a brand name, logo, or other intellectual property. In Uzbekistan, patent registration allows a brand owner to legally protect their name and trademark. Once registered, third parties cannot use your brand without permission. This is essential for protecting your business, building trust, and defending your rights in court if necessary.

To register a brand name, you first need to check whether the name is already being used by other companies. If the name is available, a special application is submitted and the state fee is paid. After the review process is completed, the brand name is officially confirmed as yours and protected by law.

Patent classes indicate which field or business activity a brand or product belongs to. For example, clothing, food products, and IT services are divided into separate classes. If the wrong class is selected, your patent protection may be weak. That is why it is important to choose a class that accurately reflects the area in which your brand operates.

The cost of registering a brand consists of two parts. The first part is the state fee. Currently, the state fee for submitting an application is 1,648,000 UZS, while the fee for the certificate is 2,801,600 UZS. These amounts are set by law and may be updated from time to time. The second part is the agency service fee, which depends on the scope of work and the complexity of the registration process.

The patent registration process usually takes from 6 months to 1 year. The timeline depends on whether the documents are submitted correctly, the number of patent classes, and the review process. If there are no errors in the documents, the process is completed within the standard timeframe.

To obtain a patent, you will need information about the brand name or logo, an application, and documents related to the patent owner. If the patent is being registered on behalf of a company, company documents must also be submitted. When the documents are complete, the process goes faster and more smoothly.

Yes, multiple patent classes can be selected. If your brand operates in several areas, a separate class is chosen for each activity. This helps provide broader protection for your brand and prevents potential issues in the future.

A patent is usually granted for a period of 10 years. It can be renewed before the expiration date. To do this, an application must be submitted according to the established procedure and the state fee must be paid. If the patent is not renewed on time, it will lose its validity.

Yes, the patent owner can be changed later. This is usually done when a business is sold or patent rights are transferred to another person. To do this, a special application must be submitted, and the change is officially recorded in the state register.
