Fundamental Aspect of Intellectual and Innovation Rights Protection
Abstract
This article examines the critical importance of enhancing patent activity among business entities as a foundational instrument for the effective protection of intellectual and innovation rights in Uzbekistan. In the context of the country’s transition to an innovation-oriented economic model, intellectual property (IP) protection is positioned as a strategic pillar for ensuring competitiveness, stimulating entrepreneurial creativity, and fostering sustainable economic growth. Drawing on recent legislative reforms, including the Intellectual Property Development Strategy for 2022–2026, the paper underscores the need for greater awareness, institutional capacity, and regulatory mechanisms that support patenting practices. Empirical observations and international examples are used to demonstrate the benefits of securing exclusive rights, mitigating unfair competition, and reducing the risks of inadvertent IP infringement. The study concludes by offering policy recommendations aimed at building a robust innovation ecosystem—through legal, educational, and financial support instruments—to enable Uzbekistan’s full integration into global intellectual property norms, particularly in anticipation of World Trade Organization accession.
