In August 2025, Uzbekistan raises fees for actions with trademarks and patents by 10%
From August 1, 2025, Uzbekistan will increase by almost 10% the size of the Basic Estimated Amount, which is used to establish the amount of state fees, including for objects of intellectual property rights.
Thus, the basic estimated amount increases from 375,000 Uzbekistani sum to 412,000 Uzbekistani sum.
Thus, the amount of the state fee for filing an application for a trademark in one class will increase from approximately 231 USD to 255 USD, and the registration fee from 446 USD to 491 USD.
It is worth noting that such an increase in the size of the basic estimated amount occurs in Uzbekistan almost every year.
Antimonopoly Committee of Ukraine fined pharmaceutical company USD 232 thousand for misleading advertising
On June 12, 2025, the Antimonopoly Committee of Ukraine fined Delta Medical LLC UAH 9.5 million for disseminating false information about the properties of the dietary supplement "Lactofiltrum." The company claimed the product could cleanse the body, restore microflora, and improve skin condition—claims that contradict Ukrainian legislation.
The case was initiated by ORISIL-PHARM LLC, the manufacturer of a competing product, "Eliminal Gel." The Ministry of Health confirmed that Lactofiltrum’s advertising misled consumers and could have influenced their purchasing decisions. The company failed to provide evidence supporting the supplement’s claimed effectiveness.
Delta Medical LLC had previously been involved in a similar violation in 2024, which contributed to the increased fine. The company has been ordered to cease the violation within two months.
