Comprehensive Trademark Registration
The 2026 rules have capped the number of items per class to 10 goods/services. Our Astana attorneys provide:
- Strategic Classification: We optimize your filings to avoid the new “Excess Item” surcharges while maintaining broad protection.
- Multi-Script Audits: Clearance searches across Cyrillic (Russian/Kazakh) and Latin scripts to ensure no phonetic conflicts block your path.
- Linguistic Reviews: Ensuring your brand name doesn’t have unintended meanings in the Kazakh language—a common pitfall for global brands.
