As earlier reported, the State Statistics Committee of Uzbekistan launched the system of reserving firm names through Internet on 1 February 2011.
From 1 February, legal entities and individuals can apply for reservation of firm name through website of the State Statistics Committee and receive confirmation of originality or inexistence of identical or similar firm names, which can confuse people.
The committee said that from 1 February to 1 November 2011 the website of the State Statistics Committee received over 67,000 applications for reservation of firm names.
It added that from received applications, the committee reserved over 46,000 firm names, which meet requirements of the law “On firm names” and do not have analogous or similar names in database of registered firm names.
