Artykova Aidyn Kydyrbayevna, Deputy Director of the National Institute of Intellectual Property, delivered an opening speech. In her remarks, she noted that the new draft Constitution of the Republic of Kazakhstan includes a new provision regarding the protection of intellectual property rights. Specifically, Article 23 stipulates that everyone has the right to the results of their intellectual, creative, and other activities, and that intellectual property is protected by law. This provision recognizes the individual's right to the results of intellectual activity at the constitutional level and imposes on the state the obligation to ensure their legal protection.
