Trademark Management in Kyrgyzstan: Protecting Your Intellectual Property
Kyrgyzstan is a member of the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU) and a signatory to the Madrid Protocol, making it an important jurisdiction for international trademark protection in Central Asia. The Kyrgyz State Service of Intellectual Property (Kyrgyzpatent) administers trademark matters under a "first-to-file" system, which means prompt registration and diligent management are essential. To maintain trademark protection, foreign rights holders must keep registration data up to date, appoint local representatives, and be proactive in opposition proceedings. Liesegang & Partner offers comprehensive and reliable trademark management services for Kyrgyzstan, tailored to the needs of international clients.
