Under Article 27 of the law, certificate holders may place a label alongside a geographical indication on goods or their packaging to show that the indication is registered in Uzbekistan.
The government approved two label types.
The geographical indication label features a vibrant green circle, where a radiant sun, a loaf of bread representing abundance, and the outline of Uzbekistan come together. A striking red location marker with the letters "GK" stands out, while an official Uzbek inscription crowns the top of the circle.
The appellation-of-origin label mirrors this design, but in a serene sky blue. Its location marker displays the abbreviation "AO," and the label is adorned with the Uzbek inscription "MUHOFAZALANGAN TOVAR KELIB CHIQQAN JOY NOMI" at the top and the English phrase "PROTECTED APPELLATION OF ORIGIN" at the bottom.
Both labels feature an eight-pointed star on either side of the circle, a thin border, and information identifying the country of origin.
According to the resolution, the labels may be used only for geographical indications and appellations of origin linked to Uzbekistan’s territory.
The Ministry of Justice must launch a real-time publication system on the relevant portal within one month and oversee label use. Minister of Justice Akbar Tashkulov will supervise the resolution’s implementation.
