Article 2. Legislation on Trademarks, Service Marks and Designations of Origin

The legislation on trademarks, service marks and appellations of origin consists of this Law and other legal enactments.

If an international treaty to which the Republic of Uzbekistan is party contains provisions different from those provided for in the Law of the Republic of Uzbekistan on trademarks, service marks and appellations of origin, the provisions of the international treaty shall be applicable.

 

Article 3. Trademark and Service Mark

Trademarks and service marks (hereinafter referred to as „trademarks“) are designations registered in accordance with legal provisions and serving to distinguish goods and services (hereinafter referred to as „goods“) of natural persons and legal entities from goods of the same type of other natural persons and legal entities.

Trademarks can be individual and collective.

An individual mark is a trademark owned by an individual legal entity or natural person.

A collective mark is a trademark of an association of legal entities and (or) natural persons, being intended to designate goods manufactured and (or) distributed by the association that have common qualitative or other characteristics.

Figurative signs, verbal denominations, three-dimensional and other signs or combinations thereof in any color or any composition of colors may be registered as trademarks.

 

Article 4. Legal Protection of the Trademark

Article 5. Appellations of Origin

Article 6. Legal Protection of the Appellation of Origin

A person who has an appellation of origin registered gains the right to use it, if this person manufactures a product whose particular properties are determined exclusively or essentially by natural factors or other factors or combination of natural factors and these other factors characteristic of the geographical area in question.

The right to use the appellation of origin registered on the basis of the provisions of this Law may be also granted to another legal entity or natural person who is located in the same geographical area and manufactures a product having the same particular properties.
