Trademark Management in Kazakhstan: Protecting Your Intellectual Property
Kazakhstan is a key jurisdiction in Central Asia for international companies seeking trademark protection. As a member of the Eurasian Economic Union and signatory of international IP treaties such as the Madrid Protocol, Kazakhstan offers a structured legal framework for registering and maintaining trademarks. However, trademark owners must proactively manage their rights to ensure continued protection. This includes keeping records up to date, complying with local representation requirements, and responding to oppositions. Liesegang & Partner provides efficient, fixed-fee services to manage all aspects of your trademark in Kazakhstan.
