The Cabinet of Ministers of the Republic of Uzbekistan has decided on measures to develop and support geographical indications. In accordance with this decision, the non-profit organization 'oriGIn Uzbekistan' will be established.

Location of Establishment and Objectives

This organization will be founded based on the Tashkent State Law University, the Chamber of Commerce and Industry, and the 'Hunarmand' association. The main functions of 'oriGIn Uzbekistan' include providing free legal and stylistic assistance to business entities when defining and registering geographical indications in the state register.

Furthermore, the organization will engage in raising public awareness about geographical indications, implementing campaigns to promote national geographical indications in foreign countries, as well as analyzing the state of development and legal protection of these indications to propose improvements to current legislation.

Business Support and Commercialization

'oriGIn Uzbekistan' will assist business entities in forming associations for the use of geographical indications and support them in the processes of commercializing these indications.

Sources of Funding

The financing of 'oriGIn Uzbekistan's' activities will come from several sources. These include funds allocated by the institutions themselves, charitable donations from individuals and legal entities, as well as funds from international institutions and foreign non-governmental organizations.

Funds allocated by state bodies and organizations within the framework of state social orders are also provided for, in accordance with the law on social partnership, including funds outside the budget of the Ministry of Justice, provided based on contracts. Any other funds not prohibited by law may also serve as a source.

Costs for maintaining the buildings where 'oriGIn Uzbekistan' is located (utilities, routine repairs, etc.) will be financed by funds allocated by the institutions and other sources.
