Background
The Kyrgyz state, once independent, was incorporated into the Russian Empire in 1876. It became part of the Russian SFSR in 1919 as the Kara-Kirghiz Autonomous Oblast. In 1936 the Kirghiz Soviet Socialist Republic became a full republic of the Soviet Union. During the Soviet break-up, the republic became fully independent in 1991.
Kyrgyzstan has been a member of the Berne Convention since 8 July 1999, the WIPO treaty since 6 March 2002 and the World Trade Organization since 20 December 1998.
