End-to-End Trademark Registration in Kyrgyzstan

Kyrgyzstan is a “first-to-file” jurisdiction, which means registration is required to obtain and enforce rights over a trademark. Only in limited, exceptional situations can unregistered trademarks receive protection. Registering your mark allows you to:

• Secure exclusive rights over your trademark in Kyrgyzstan.
• Have clear evidence of ownership to prevent future disputes.
• Enforce your rights in cases of trademark infringement.

Trademark applications must be filed with the State Service of Intellectual Property and Innovation of Kyrgyzstan trademarks office.

Kyrgyzstan is also a member of the Madrid Protocol, so it is possible to obtain protection by designating Kyrgyzstan in an international registration via the Madrid System.

A trademark does not need to be in use in Kyrgyzstan in order to be filed or registered.

If you register a combined trademark (word + figurative elements) in Kyrgyzstan, your exclusive right is limited to the exact configuration as filed. If you want to use and protect the word element or the logo separately, you should consider filing additional trademarks for those elements alone.

If a third party registers a trademark for similar goods or services that includes a primary or distinctive portion of your mark, you have the right to file a cancellation action against that registration based on similarity and prior rights.

To register a trademark in Kyrgyzstan, you will generally need:

• Scanned copy of a signed Power of Attorney. No notarization or legalization required.
• The name or logo you want to register
• The applicant’s details

Your iGERENT consultant will confirm the exact requirements for your case and guide you through each step.

The average time to obtain registration of a trademark in Kyrgyzstan is 10 months.

This is an estimated timeframe for straightforward cases based on current processing times and can vary considerably, depending on objections, office workload or cancellation proceedings.

Once your trademark is registered in Kyrgyzstan:

• It is valid for 10 years from the application date.
• It can be renewed indefinitely for further periods of ten (10) years.

Renewal can be requested:

• As early as twelve (12) months before the expiration date, and
• Up to six (6) months after the expiration date.

If the renewal is requested after the expiration date, late renewal fees will apply.

Yes. If a third party’s registered trademark conflicts with yours (for example, it is similar and covers related goods or services), you may file a cancellation action based on your prior rights.

• These cancellation actions must be filed within five (5) years from the date the registration is published in the official bulletin.
• The likelihood of success depends on the specific facts, the evidence of prior rights, and the degree of similarity between the marks and goods/services.

Use of the trademark is not required to obtain the initial registration.

However, if the trademark is not used for more than three (3) years after registration, it becomes vulnerable to cancellation actions for non-use filed by third parties. Actual use in commerce is therefore important to keep the registration safe from such attacks.
