From 1 September 2026, Uzbekistan increased its Base Calculation Rate (BCR) from UZS 412,000 to UZS 440,000. Under Presidential Decree PF-115 and notices circulated by regional IP practitioners, official fees for trademarks, patents and industrial designs that are calculated by reference to the BCR have risen accordingly across filing, examination, registration and renewal stages. The change therefore affects more than a single fee item: it raises the cost baseline for obtaining and maintaining IP rights in Uzbekistan.
For applicants and rights holders, the immediate task is to refresh budgets and quotations that were prepared before 1 September. Pending matters that have not yet reached a payment point may now require higher official-fee allocations, while renewal and prosecution forecasts should also be recalculated. Because the payable amount for each procedure depends on its prescribed BCR multiple, parties should confirm the latest fee schedule with the competent authority or local counsel before making payment.
