Future cooperation prospects
During the meeting, both firms presented an overview of our respective experiences, existing teams of lawyers and legal advisors, and the range of services we offer. Through our discussions, both parties recognized numerous similarities not only in our legal consulting work for businesses but also in the field of intellectual property.
SBLAW and G&W Partners both possess considerable expertise in activities related to intellectual property, such as, patent, trademark and industrial design registration and infringement analysis, extending services not only domestically but also internationally, including in the United States, Australia, Europe, East Asia, and Southeast Asia.
Moreover, SBLAW and G&W Partners have both engaged in legal consulting activities within each other’s markets for an extended period and have identified significant opportunities in the realm of intellectual property in both Vietnam and China. Given the recent breakthroughs in bilateral economic cooperation between the two countries, characterized by a substantial increase in foreign direct investment and a growing number of Chinese businesses entering the Vietnamese market.
This matter leads to a rising tide of legal issues emerging between Chinese and Vietnamese companies. Consequently, both parties proposed to consider collaboration in the field of intellectual property, initially focusing on Vietnam and China, with the potential to expand into other regions as opportunities arise.
The meeting concluded that afternoon in a warm and amicable atmosphere, fostering an open spirit. Both sides expressed a strong desire for an in-person meeting in Hanoi in the near future.
