Registration of a trademark in Kazakhstan takes place in accordance with the Law of the Republic of Kazakhstan "On Trademarks, Service Marks and Appellations of Origin" dated July 26, 1999 No. 456-I.
A trademark is a designation registered in accordance with this Law or protected without registration by virtue of international treaties in which the Republic of Kazakhstan participates, which serves to distinguish goods (services) of some legal entities or individuals from similar goods (services) of other legal entities or individuals.
Legal entities or individuals who have certificates of registration of a trademark in the State Register of Trademarks are the owners of trademarks. Of particular importance in this Law is Article 4, paragraph 4, according to which the trademark owner has the exclusive right to use and dispose of the trademark belonging to him in relation to the goods and services indicated in the certificate. No one can use a trademark protected in the Republic of Kazakhstan without the consent of the owner.
There are currently trademark lawsuits. It is clear what role the above provisions of the Law of the Republic of Kazakhstan “On Trademarks, Service Marks and Appellations of Origin of Goods” dated July 26, 1999 No. 456-I play in these disputes. That is why it is extremely important and necessary to register your trademark on time in accordance with the current legislation of the Republic of Kazakhstan (intellsob.kz). In this case, there is no one to blame, except for yourself. Otherwise, you can lose your business if you do not register a trademark in time.
Registered trademarks may be figurative, verbal, alphabetic, digital, three-dimensional and other designations or combinations thereof that allow distinguishing goods and services of one person from similar goods or services of other persons.
