6. What are the requirements for power of attorney to represent before the Kyrgyz Patent Office?

The power of attorney completed in the Kyrgyz Republic must be executed in the manner provided by Kyrgyz law or by the law of the country where it is executed. In case of any doubts about its authenticity, at the request of the Kyrgyz Patent Office, the power of attorney must be legalized by the consular institution of the Kyrgyz Republic except in cases when no legalization is required under the treaties of the Kyrgyz Republic or the principle of reciprocity.

The power of attorney issued to a patent attorney to represent a foreign entity or national permanently residing outside the Kyrgyz Republic must meet the following requirements:
- be signed by the person who has issued it;
- be issued to an individual registered with the Kyrgyz Patent Office as a patent attorney;
- state the scope of authority of the patent attorney and date of its execution without which it will be deemed invalid.

The power of attorney issued to several patent attorneys registered with the Kyrgyz Patent Office entitles any of them to handle the trademark application.
