Black and white trademark or color trademark in Vietnam

349

SBLaw is well-known trademark attorney office in Vietnam. Sometime, we received client’s question about the color of trademark which is filed at National Office of Interllectual Property (NOIP) in Vietnam.

The popular question is: when the applicant register in black and white colors, could the applicant use other colors such as red or blue in the Vietnam market?

My questions is as follows: If applicant’s trademark is registered in black and white colors, it shall be used in other colors.

Under the trademark law in Vietnam and our practice, a trademark registered under black and white color shall have the broadest cover of protection.

Thus, applicant should consider this matter before filling trademark in trademark office in Vietnam.
