The Republic of Uzbekistan, known as Uzbekistan for short, was once a famous “Silk Road” state. Since 2002, Uzbekistan has passed a lot of IP regulations to facilitate the implementation of relevant laws. At present, it is trying to match with relevant systems of the World Trade Organization (WTO) so as to join WTO as soon as possible. Its national IP systems and implementations are in line with the standards of TRIPS.

The State Intellectual Property Office of Uzbekistan undertakes the applications for, review and authorization of certificates (patent certificates) for protection of various IPs (including inventions, utility models, industrial design, trademarks and service marks, computer software and layout design of integrated circuits and breeding achievements).
