On April 1, an application for a new brand — Uklon Autonomous — appeared in the trademark register.
When registering, it was noted that the TM will apply to such classes of goods and services as road transportation, communications, gadgets, online ordering of transportation services, etc.
Recall that in August 2025, Uklon CEO Sergey Grishkov actually said that Uklon would begin exploring cooperation models with autonomous vehicle companies in the near future.
«In Ukraine, it is necessary to test the AV system, understand the size of investments and capital investments in the road infrastructure of Ukrainian cities and legislative regulation. For example, for correct operation, there must be sufficiently good quality roads and uniform road markings everywhere,» said Grishkov.
CEO Uklon predicted that autonomous cars will have niche potential in Ukraine. According to him, their use in the coming years is possible in limited conditions, for example, in military logistics or on closed routes with high-quality markings.
Grishkov emphasized that for the full implementation of such cars, it is necessary to adopt appropriate legislation that will regulate the legal norms of their use, following the example of the USA and the EU. This legislation should take into account international standards, in particular the SAE scale, which determines the level of autonomy of a vehicle. He adds that the issue of launching such transport will become much more relevant in 3–5 years.
