Trademark Registration in Kazakhstan

National trademark protection in Kazakhstan through Kazpatent, including filing, examination, registration, renewal and post-registration recordals.

Trademark registration in Kazakhstan is carried out through the National Institute of Intellectual Property (Kazpatent).

A trademark may be registered in the name of an individual or a legal entity and serves to distinguish goods and services in the market.

We provide full support for the procedure, from preparation and filing of the application to registration and further maintenance of rights.
