Trademark is a sign for
consumers to identify the goods or services of each company from those of
others.
In Vietnam, many businesses today have not paid sufficient
attention to trademark protection. Only when their trademarks would be
infringed by other companies or competitors, they really concern to protect
their trademarks and business through trademark registration, trademark
opposition or take further actions. Such situation will negatively impact
the business financially.
Register trademark in Vietnam
Trademark rights will be protected within the national territory,
therefore when a trademark has been registered in Vietnam, it will be protected
in Vietnam. If one company wishes their trademarks to be protected in
other countries, it could:
- Directly register in each
country or
- Register via the Madrid
International registration by filing a single application which indicates
the registrations at respective countries.
If registered under the Madrid International, firstly, trademarks
must have been submitted trademark applications or have registered in Vietnam,
depending on whether the country for protection is under the Madrid Protocol or
the Madrid Agreement.
Law on Intellectual Property and
its related documents could also be referred to for further information.
