Abstract

It has been established that legal protection of trademarks in the digital environment requires a complex
and multifaceted approach. This article provides a comprehensive analysis of international legal practices and
the need to improve the legislation of Uzbekistan in this field. It has been identified that the economic and
legal significance of trademarks is consistently increasing in the context of the digital economy. Moreover, it has
been determined that in the United States, the European Union, and other advanced jurisdictions, mechanisms
such as “safe harbor,” “notice-and-action,” and UDRP are effectively applied and have become essential tools for
protecting intellectual property on digital platforms. The article comparatively examines the legal status of digital
intermediaries, the liability limits of online platforms, and systems for resolving infringements involving domain
names. In particular, the legal foundations of automated monitoring, content removal, and blocking mechanisms
are analyzed. The impact assessment reveals that the current legislation of the Republic of Uzbekistan does not
fully correspond to the actual needs and risks of the digital environment. Therefore, concrete normative proposals
are put forward to introduce relevant legal concepts into the Laws “On Informatization” and “On Intellectual
Property” and to implement new legal mechanisms based on international practice.
