Protecting Intellectual Property and Making Effective Use of Intangible Assets in Kyrgyzstan
In many cases, intellectual property is a company’s key asset, from its brand and reputation to its technology and content. Its value and the ability to commercialize it depend directly on rights being properly formalized, secured in the company’s name, and monitored in use. In practice, insufficient attention to these matters in Kyrgyzstan can lead to disputes, the loss of rights, and limits on how the assets can be used.
Baker Tilly Bishkek Legal provides legal support on intellectual property matters, helping clients protect and make effective use of their intangible assets in line with statutory requirements and the practice of their application in Kyrgyzstan.
