On October 24, the State Intellectual Property and Innovation Service under the Government of the Kyrgyz Republic submitted for public discussion a draft Law of the Kyrgyz Republic on amendments to some legislative acts of the Kyrgyz Republic (the Criminal Code of the Kyrgyz Republic, the Criminal Procedure Code of the Kyrgyz Republic, the Code of the Kyrgyz Republic on Misconduct, the Code of Violations of the Kyrgyz Republic, the Law "On Copyright and Related Rights", the Law "On Trademarks, Service Marks and Appellations of Origin", the Patent Act, and others.)

In article 199 of the current Criminal Code of the Kyrgyz Republic, punishments for violations of copyright and industrial property were combined in one disposition. In connection with the difference in the damage caused, it is proposed to separate these two compositions and add article on the exclusive rights of the patent holder.

Article 199 of the Criminal Code of the Kyrgyz Republic proposes to reduce the punishment for violation of copyright, related rights from a fine of category five to a fine of category one in order to comply with the principles of judicial reform.

Due to the fact that crimes in the field of intellectual property are crimes of an economic nature, it is proposed in the Code of Criminal Procedure to transfer the jurisdiction of article 199 to the bodies for combating economic crimes.

Also, due to the fact that the copyright holder and the violator have the possibility of reconciliation, and also in order to exclude corruption risks, it is proposed that crimes provided for in articles 199, 218 of the Criminal Code of the Kyrgyz Republic shall be attributed to cases of public-private prosecution.
