The sources emphasize the need to pay attention to the period of validity of absolute rights when 
concluding a franchise contract [11 ]. 
According to the legislation of the Republic of Uzbekistan: 

The patent for the invention is valid for 20 years (can be extended up to 5 years); 

20 years for selection achievements (25 years in some cases); 

Industrial model patent 10 years; 

Utility model patent 5 years; 

Trademark 10 years; 

Integrated circuits 10 years [12]. 
Therefore, the parties should also pay attention to the period of validity of intellectual property 
objects in the process of concluding a complex business license (franchise) contract. 
The following can be recognized as special features of the franchise agreement: 

The possibility of participation of only business entities as parties to the contract; 

In accordance with the contract, the licensee may use the complex of licenses only in the 
specified area; 

Existence of restrictive conditions in the contract; 

The licensee's involvement of additional licensees may be specified in the contract as an 
obligation rather than a right.
In accordance with the franchise agreement, a complex of licenses is granted to the licensee. 
However, it should not be concluded that the franchise agreement is one of the license 
agreements. S.S. Hamroev draws attention to the naming of the franchise agreement in our 
legislation, and emphasizes that the license is an administrative document and cannot be issued 
by persons who do not have the appropriate authority [13 ]. 
Also, in accordance with the Law of the Republic of Uzbekistan "On Licensing Certain Types of 
Activities" adopted on May 25, 2000, it regulates relations related to the licensing of activities 
that require a license for their implementation in the Republic of Uzbekistan. According to this 
law, the requirements of the law do not apply to the complex business license agreement [14]. 
It can be concluded that the complex business license (franchising) contract is not a license 
contract. Therefore, the word "license" in the franchise agreement does not mean the 
authorization procedure by the state authorities. 
In accordance with the CC of the Republic of Uzbekistan, when the comprehensive business 
license agreement is concluded without specifying the term, each of the parties has the right to 
refuse the indefinite complex business license agreement at any time. 

In most cases, the franchise agreement is concluded with a specified term, and then it is 
extended for an indefinite period. That is, at first it is tested whether this activity is promising 
or not, if it is promising in practice, it is extended according to the agreement of the parties. 
In the theory of civil law, the following types of franchise are distinguished: 

Product franchising; 

Production franchise; 

Work franchise; 

Corporate franchise; 

Conversion franchise (terms changed); 

Regional franchise [15 ].
