In today’s dynamic market, where countless fish sauce products compete with diverse packaging and label designs, winning over consumers goes beyond product quality. First impressions now matter more than ever — and they often start with the product’s appearance, especially its design and labeling.
A well-designed, distinctive, and refined packaging not only helps a product stand out on store shelves but also leaves a lasting impression in the minds of consumers. It plays a vital role in brand positioning and contributes significantly to building a sustainable competitive edge. Therefore, securing industrial design protection has become a strategic step for businesses wishing to safeguard their brand identity and product distinctiveness.
Recognizing the importance of this, VITACO entrusted SBLAW as its legal partner to provide consultation and carry out the procedures for registering the industrial design of its fish sauce product label.

From the initial steps of conducting design searches and assessing registrability to preparing the application and obtaining the official Certificate of Industrial Design Registration from the Intellectual Property Office of Vietnam, SBLAW’s team of attorneys implemented a well-structured, professional, and time-efficient process that ensured full compliance with all legal requirements.
