This registration is considered one of the key steps toward recognizing the uniqueness of Samarkand bread, preserving the national gastronomic heritage, and enhancing the product's prestige in the market.

Registering the name "Samarkand Bread" as both a geographical indication and a trademark plays an important role in the legal protection of national brands and in increasing their economic potential.

In accordance with the Law "On Trademarks, Service Marks, and Appellations of Origin," a trademark registration certificate is issued for a 10-year term.

For context, "Samarkand Bread" was officially registered as a geographical indication in February 2025.
