U.S. Helps Tajikistan Publish Trilingual IP Dictionary

On May 31, 2011, the U.S. Embassy in Dushanbe, Tajikistan organized a ceremony to mark the publication of a trilingual English-Russian-Tajik intellectual property dictionary.

The dictionary was funded through the U.S. Agency for International Development’s (USAID) Regional Trade Liberalization and Customs project, as part of the U.S. Government’s support for Tajikistan’s efforts to bring its laws in line with international legislation.

The main author of the dictionary is Inom Takhirov, the National Center for Patents and Information director. In addition to the list of intellectual property terms, the dictionary contains an introduction to intellectual property, copyright and industrial property rights, and will be a valuable resource for the Government of Tajikistan, scholars, IP practitioners, law students and other professionals.
