When we hear the word "patent," we often envision a certificate protecting a brand or trademark. However, in essence, it is a legal document that provides legal protection for an invention. In the Republic of Uzbekistan, a patent is a legal protection document issued by the Department of Intellectual Property of the Ministry of Justice for an invention.
For instance, if you have invented a machine for cucumber harvesting, you can now patent it and become the rightful owner of this invention.
A certificate of trademark protection issued by the Department of Intellectual Property of the Ministry of Justice of the Republic of Uzbekistan is a legal document that entrepreneurs receive from the state to safeguard their brands. For example, once the brand "Amaan" obtains certification from the Department of Intellectual Property, others cannot lawfully use this brand within the territory of the Republic of Uzbekistan without the owner's permission.
In foreign countries, this type of permit is intended for the legal employment of foreign citizens, that is, migrants, in that country. For instance, migrants working in Russia will need to obtain a patent certificate for lawful employment.
