Intellectual Property Rights

http://www.iipa.com/ IIPA files supplemental update on copyright developments in Uzbekistan to the GSP subcommittee.

Uzbekistan's laws governing the acquisition and disposition of property pose relatively few problems for foreign investors. Foreign entities may own buildings, but ownership of land is not legal, and expropriation of facilities has happened.

Although Uzbekistan is not a member of the Bern convention, the laws on copyrights are reasonable and approach international standards.  However, because of poor enforcement, these laws have not made an appreciable dent in the wide availability of pirated material.  Uzbekistan is a consumer, but not a significant producer, of such material.  On the streets, pirated audio and videotapes and compact disks are sold freely.  Uzbekistan has actively voiced its interest in joining the WTO, but is only the early stages of implementation of the appropriate agreements, including TRIPS.
