Governing laws
What is now Uzbekistan was taken over by the Russian Empire in the 19th century. The Uzbek Soviet Socialist Republic was created in 1924 as a constituent republic of the Soviet Union. During the breakup of the Soviet Union Uzbekistan declared independence on 31 August 1991.
Uzbekistan has been a member of the Berne Convention since 19 April 2005 and the WIPO Copyright treaty since 17 July 2019.[1]

In 2021, an amendment to the forementioned copyright law is passed, which extended copyright protection for 70 years.[3]
