Significant changes are being made in the field of intellectual property protection in the legal system of Uzbekistan. This was reported by Upl.uz. The new law signed by President Shavkat Mirziyoyev on August 8 aims to strengthen responsibility for violations in this area while simplifying the processes for registering rights. According to the official channel of the Ministry of Justice, this law will be an important step in creating favorable conditions for authors, inventors, and rights holders. The main innovation of the law is the introduction of criminal liability for the use of illegal trademarks. From now on, such actions, as well as violations of property rights related to software, inventions, and industrial designs, will be prosecuted under the Criminal Code. These changes will come into effect three months after the official announcement, allowing time to adapt to the new rules. Along with the strengthening of criminal liability, administrative penalties have also been revised. Fines for violations of copyright and related rights will be significantly increased. Additionally, administrative liability has been introduced for violations related to selection results and topologies of integrated circuits. The justice authorities will now have the right to inspect and confiscate counterfeit products. The procedure for removing counterfeit goods from civil circulation and destroying them has been clearly defined. Despite the strengthening of liability measures, the new law also aims to simplify the process of registering intellectual property rights. For example, patents and trademarks will automatically be assigned a unique QR code, which will facilitate their validation and use. Flexibility has also been shown in the payment of state duties. Applicants now have the opportunity to extend the payment deadline by three months, for which they must pay an additional 50 percent of the specified amount. Furthermore, the requirement to submit a document confirming the payment for the registration of industrial designs has been abolished. The number of documents required for registering new selection results, namely agricultural crops and livestock breeds, has been reduced. Deadlines for administrative processes have been shortened: the examination of applications for the registration of computer programs and databases should not exceed 10 days, while the expertise for registration as a place of origin of goods will be completed within one month. The first law on copyright protection in the world, the "Statute of Anne," was adopted in Great Britain in 1710. This law granted authors the right to publish their books for 14 years, and if the author is alive, this period is extended by another 14 years.

I will rewrite the text in clean Uzbek, officially and simply as follows: Recently, there have been numerous reports in the media about Anton Miranchuk's transfer to Moscow's Dynamo team. This was reported by Euro-football.ru. It is said that Dynamo's head coach Valery Karpin wants to see Miranchuk in his squad. However, the club's sports director Zeljko Buvach is opposed to this transfer.

During the time that has passed, he has played in 25 official matches for this team. In these matches, Miranchuk scored two goals and provided three assists. The Transfermarkt portal has estimated Miranchuk's transfer value at 2.5 million euros. So far, no clear decision has been made regarding the player's future. Due to the lack of agreement between Dynamo's management and the sports director on this matter, the issue of Miranchuk's transfer to the Moscow team remains open.

Former famous football player Alexander Mostovoy expressed his opinion on the news about the introduction of salary restrictions for players in the Russian Premier League. This was reported by Euro-football.ru. He emphasized that excessively high salaries for players should not be allowed. According to Mostovoy, the increase in salaries has caused the current problems. He stated that players in the Russian championship are paid more than their actual value. For this reason, many players strive to earn easy money in this championship. Mostovoy also mentioned that there are many players in Russia who do not deserve high salaries. He believes that simply increasing a player's salary does not improve their performance on the field.

Currently, after four rounds in the Russian Premier League, the "Lokomotiv" club has accumulated 12 points and is leading the competition table.

The general secondary education system in Uzbekistan is undergoing fundamental changes. This was reported by Upl.uz. The country has officially begun implementing a 12-year education model. This was announced by the press service of the Ministry of Preschool and School Education. In the near future, a normative legal document confirming these innovations is expected to be signed. This decision was made as part of a comprehensive program to reform the education sector. The program was presented to the president on September 8 and envisions a systematic renewal of all stages from preschool to higher education. The transition to 12-year education is being carried out to align with international experience. The results of the PISA study conducted in 2022 showed that in 85% of countries considered leaders in education, the number of school years is exactly 12. The introduction of the new model will allow adapting curricula to international standards and also enable students to be well-prepared for subsequent stages of education and vocational training. The updated system structure will be as follows: the first year is designated as a preparatory stage for 6-year-old children, which is considered part of primary education. Primary education will last a total of 5 years, including 1 year of preparation and 4 years of primary school. The next stage is basic general secondary education, covering grades 5 to 9 and lasting 5 years. The final 2 years constitute complete general secondary education, which will be conducted in schools, academic lyceums, specialized military schools, or technical colleges. To ensure a smooth transition process and create the necessary infrastructure, about 3,600 new schools will be built and more than a thousand state kindergartens will be opened. It is precisely in these institutions that the updated preparatory program for the youngest students will be piloted. An interesting point is that information about the transition to 12-year education had been actively discussed on social networks since 2023. However, at that time, the Ministry of Preschool and School Education officially denied these claims, emphasizing that the 11-year education system was in effect. The current decision shows that approaches at the state level have been reconsidered and there is political will to implement large-scale reforms. In the history of independent Uzbekistan, a 12-year education system has existed before. From 2010 to 2017, education was organized based on a 9+3 scheme, where students who completed grade 9 were required to continue their studies at vocational colleges and academic lyceums.
