Significant reduction in Uzbek Patent Office fees starting 1 January 2025 

15.11.2024

From 1 January 2025, official fees at the Uzbek Patent Office will decrease substantially. This change comes as part of Uzbekistan’s efforts to meet World Trade Organization (WTO) requirements, leading to a comprehensive review of its legislation. The new fee schedule applies to patents, utility models, designs, and trademarks, with the same fees now set for foreign applicants and Uzbek nationals. 

Highlights of the new fees

  • Filing fee: Reduced from 598 USD to 117 USD 
  • Substantive examination fee: Reduced from 1 495 USD to 352 USD 
  • Granting and publication fee: Reduced from 982 USD to 234 USD 
  • Annuity fees: decreased by approximately 77% 

Trademarks

  • Filing fee: Reduced from 600 USD to 175 USD 
  • Registration fee: Reduced from 1 184 USD to 340 USD 
  • Renewal fee: Reduced from 600 USD to 175 USD

  • Filing fee: Reduced from 500 USD to 120 USD 
  • Examination fee: Reduced from 1 500 USD to 350 USD 
  • Registration and granting fee: Reduced from 690 USD to 160 USD 

Most official fees are reduced by 50% for applicants who are natural persons.

If you plan to file or have pending applications with due dates in 2025, consider delaying fee payments until after 1 January 2025 to take advantage of the new rates.
