Regex, Match uppercase characters not between brackets

In RegEx, I search a pattern that selects multiple uppercase characters (more than 1), that are not enclosed by curly braces.

It should match:

ABC
AB
XYZABC

but not:

{ABC}
{AB}
{XYZABC}

The below regex would match one or more uppercase letters only if it is not followed by a closing curly } bracket.

^[A-Z]+(?!.*?})$

DEMO

OR

You could use perl regex verbs,

{.*?}(*SKIP)(*F)|[A-Z]+
