Don’t Let Your Source Code Be “Stolen”: SBLAW Successfully Protects the Copyright of SOL TOOL Software

By
sblaw
-

Thousands of sleepless nights spent typing every line of code, debugging to create a complete software – that is the sweat and brainpower of every programmer. However, in the digital world, source code is highly susceptible to being copied, modified, or stolen for profit.

If one day, the application or software you wrote appears under someone else’s name on the market, what will you use to prove it is your “brainchild”? Registering software copyright (computer program) is the most solid legal barrier to help IT professionals protect this invaluable asset.

SBLAW Successfully Protects the Utility Software “SOL TOOL”

A practical testament to our capability in accompanying programmers is that recently, on May 29, 2026, SBLAW Law Firm successfully assisted the author and owner Luu Van Anh Dung in establishing his copyright.

The protected work is the “Software for converting numbers to words and automatic calculation for Microsoft Word & Excel: SOL TOOL”. The work was officially granted Certificate No. 5866/2026/QTG by the Copyright Office of Vietnam under the category of Computer program.

Owning Certificate No. 5866/2026/QTG has helped author Luu Van Anh Dung hold absolute exclusive rights to his product, ready to commercially exploit the software and sell copyrights to businesses without the constant fear of algorithms or source code being stolen.

  1. Why Do Programmers and IT Startups Need to Register Code Copyright?

According to the Intellectual Property Law, computer programs are protected as literary works, whether expressed in source code or machine code. However, registering with the Copyright Office brings outstanding advantages:

  • No need for proof in case of disputes: A copyright certificate is ironclad proof. If someone copies your software, you are not obligated to prove you are the author; the burden of proof lies with the infringer.
  • Mandatory condition for commercialization: Many App Stores (like Apple Store, Google Play) or large corporate partners require you to provide proof of intellectual property ownership before allowing publication or signing software purchase contracts.
  • Increasing value when raising capital: A tech startup owning copyrighted software will be valued much higher by Investment Funds.
  1. What Does the Application for Computer Program Copyright Registration Require?

Unlike regular works, the registration dossier for software is highly technical. At SBLAW, we will guide you to prepare the most streamlined dossier:

  • Product to be protected: 02 CDs containing the entire source code of the software and 02 printed copies of the source code along with the interface of the main functions.
  • Personal documents: Certified copies of the author’s identity documents (the person who wrote the code) and the business registration license (if a company is the owner).
  • Core legal documents: A commitment of self-written code (no copying), a Decision on assigning tasks to IT staff, or a Software Design Contract. All these documents, including the standard Declaration form of the state agency, will be directly drafted by SBLAW on your behalf.
  1. SBLAW – A Legal Stop for Tech Professionals

We understand that the language of programmers is lines of code, while the language of state agencies is the law. The team of Lawyers at SBLAW acts as perfect “translators” connecting these two worlds:

  • Understanding the specificities of the IT industry: We accurately advise on whether to protect the interface or the source code to optimize benefits.
  • Comprehensive A-Z service: We represent you in submitting the application, directly working and explaining to the specialists of the Copyright Office until handing the Certificate (like Certificate No. 5866/2026/QTG) directly to you.
  • Professional after-sales service: Advising and issuing Warning Letters for immediate handling if your source code is found to be cracked or plagiarized by competitors.

You have spent months coding a software, don’t regret spending a little time to lock it tightly with the law!

Copyright Registration Services for Comic Books & Novels | Protect Your “Creative Universe” with SBLAW

By
sblaw
-

Currently, the creation of stories, especially the design of unique comic characters, is experiencing an explosive boom. From a short story or a hand-drawn character, authors can entirely build a “universe” that yields massive commercial value through book publishing, film adaptation, or merchandise production.

However, as the creative world expands, the accompanying risks increase. Copyright infringement is becoming extremely complex, ranging from blatant “pirated” book printing to unauthorized use of characters and storylines in television programs.

How can writers, artists, and content creators protect their intellectual brainchildren? Copyright registration for stories is the ultimate answer.

  1. Certificate of Copyright Registration: The Ultimate “Shield” for Every Work

Many authors mistakenly believe that as soon as they write or draw something, their work is automatically protected. This is true, as copyright arises at the moment a work is created and expressed in a certain material form, but when facing sophisticated “plagiarists,” how can you prove that you are the true creator of that work?

Registering copyright is not just an administrative procedure; it grants “life-or-death” privileges for your work:

  • Absolute legal weapon: Owning a Certificate of Copyright Registration means holding ironclad proof of lawful ownership in Vietnam. You do not have the burden of proving such copyright belongs to you in a dispute.
  • Passport for publishing: This is the mandatory legal basis for the owner to apply for a publishing license, legitimately bringing the work to the shelves of major bookstores.
  • Exclusive franchise rights: Holding the copyright gives you the exclusive right to authorize third parties to exploit your work (film adaptations, t-shirt printing, game development) and reap worthy material benefits. Simultaneously, you have full authority to request competent agencies to “blow the whistle” and strictly handle infringement acts.
  1. Legal Preparation: You Just Need to Create, Let SBLAW Handle the Paperwork!

Unlike the dryness of administrative procedures, the application process through SBLAW’s services is maximally streamlined. Customers only need to provide the most basic materials:

  • Creative product: 02 copies of the work (manuscript of the story or printed copy of the comic). One copy will be archived at the Copyright Office, and one copy stamped with a red seal will be returned to the author.
  • Identity documents: Copies of the Identity Card/Citizen Identification Card of the author.
  • Core documents (if any): Written consent of co-authors/co-owners (if the work is a collaboration of multiple people), or a contract of employment/proof of the right to file the application.

All remaining complex documents such as: The registration declaration form according to the standard form of the Copyright Office, written commitments of self-creation, notarization, and translation… will be directly drafted and standardized by SBLAW’s team of lawyers.

  1. Costs and Time: Fast – Transparent
  • Optimal investment cost (Applicable in 2026): Protecting a creative world has never been this easy. For literary works (stories, novels), the all-inclusive service fee at SBLAW is only 2,100,000 VND (including State fees and service fees, excluding 5% VAT).
  • Time to receive your “protection shield”: By law, the Copyright Office will issue the certificate within 15 working days from the receipt of a valid application. However, due to the explosive number of applications, the actual time often extends from 20 to 30 days. SBLAW is committed to closely monitoring and expediting the process so that your work is protected as soon as possible.
  1. SBLAW – A Safe Legal Haven for the Creative Community

Stepping into the publishing and entertainment world, you need a companion who understands the rules of the game. SBLAW does not stop at just filing applications; we provide a comprehensive protection value chain:

  • Representing you in submitting applications and directly working and explaining to the Copyright Office of Vietnam.
  • Receiving and safely handing over the Certificate of Copyright Registration for your story.
  • Especially: Providing strategic consulting solutions, directly assisting in sending warning letters and handling violations if your story is illegally printed or copied on digital platforms.

Creation is a solitary journey, but you do not have to protect your creative achievements alone! Contact SBLAW today to bring your characters and stories into the safe protection of the law.

Exclusive “Brand Jacket”: A Successful Protection Lesson from Hai Ly Craft Beer

By
sblaw
-

In the F&B (Food & Beverage) industry in general and the craft beer market in particular, delicious flavor is a necessary condition, but eye-catching packaging design is the sufficient condition for customers to decide to open their wallets. A packaging design encapsulates the soul of the product, the story of the founder, and the brand’s positioning. However, what will you do when that passionately crafted “jacket” is blatantly copied by competitors, causing consumer confusion and decreasing revenue? The successful protection story of Hai Ly Ocean Spirit Beer with the accompaniment of SBLAW is the perfect answer to this problem.

From a Passion for Brewing Craft Beer to a Mindset of Protecting Intellectual Property On the bottle label of Hai Ly Beer, there is a proud line: “Handcrafted by Mrs. Ly herself, meticulous down to every detail, this limited product celebrates the art of natural fermentation…”. For Le Thi Ly Business Household, each batch of beer is not just a beverage, but a true work of art. Recognizing that the uniqueness of the ship sailing out to sea along with the delicate color layout on the bottle label could easily be “copied” by other breweries, the brand owner decided to establish a strong legal barrier early on. And SBLAW was trusted and chosen as the companion.

On May 12, 2026, the joy became complete when the Copyright Office of Vietnam officially issued Certificate No. 4517/2026/QTG for the work: “The form of expression of the product packaging of Hai Ly Ocean Spirit Beer”. The work created by the author Le Thi Ly herself has been absolutely protected by law under the category of Work of Applied Fine Arts.

Packaging Copyright Registration: Small Investment, Big Lifesaver Many businesses often focus only on Trademark registration (Logo/Brand Name) while forgetting that registering the Copyright for the form of expression of packaging (Work of Applied Fine Arts) brings an extremely flexible and rapid protective power:

  • No long waiting: Instead of taking years like the registration procedures for Trademarks or Industrial Designs, packaging copyright registration has a statutory examination time of only 15 working days from the submission of a complete and valid dossier. You can quickly possess a “legal weapon” to launch your product into the market.
  • Thoroughly handling counterfeits: Even if a competitor intentionally changes the brand name but retains the exact layout, colors, ship imagery, or patterns on the packaging similar to Hai Ly Beer, the owner has full rights to use Certificate No. 4517/2026/QTG as ironclad evidence to request the Market Surveillance authority to confiscate and destroy the counterfeit goods.

SBLAW: Keeping Your Creativity Complete Different from dry administrative procedures, protecting a “work of applied fine arts” requires the representing organization to possess aesthetic thinking and a deep understanding of Intellectual Property Law to optimize the scope of protection for clients. At SBLAW, we simplify all legal barriers. Clients like Le Thi Ly Business Household only need to focus on brewing excellent batches of beer. The entire complex process from: Assessing the protectability of the packaging, standardizing prints, drafting strict legal guarantees, to closely monitoring the dossier at the Copyright Office is directly and comprehensively handled by SBLAW experts.

Look at the success of Hai Ly Ocean Spirit Beer – they are ready to sail out without any fear of having their identity “stolen”.

Is your product packaging securely protected yet? Don’t wait until counterfeit products appear widespread on supermarket shelves to start looking for solutions. Contact SBLAW today to turn your packaging design into an inviolable exclusive asset!

Full-Service Website Copyright Registration – Protecting Digital Assets, Elevating Enterprise Value | SBLAW

By
sblaw
-

In the digital economy era, a website is not just an “online store” but also an intangible asset that brings immense added value to an enterprise. However, the copying of source code and the “plagiarism” of design interfaces are widespread. To protect your brainchild, the website copyright registration process (including both the interface and source code) is a vital, life-or-death legal step.

Join SBLAW to explore the detailed forms, documentation, procedures, and full-service website copyright registration solutions in the article below!

 

  1. Why is Website Copyright Registration Extremely Important?

Although copyright arises automatically upon creation, owning an official Certificate of Copyright Registration provides superior legal and commercial advantages:

  • Exemption from the burden of proof: When a dispute occurs with a competitor, you will not need to waste time and expenses proving your ownership over that website.
  • Enhancing business valuation: A copyrighted website is a legitimate intangible asset, creating immense brand and enterprise value during fundraising, Initial Public Offerings (IPO), or Mergers and Acquisitions (M&A).
  1. In What Forms Are Websites Protected?

A website is a complex, composite work; therefore, website copyright is protected by law under two main forms:

  • Interface Protection (UI/UX): The design interface of a website can be registered for protection as a Work of Applied Art (Pursuant to Clause 2, Article 13 of Decree No. 22/2018/ND-CP).
  • Source Code Protection: The website’s source code is defined and protected as a Computer Program (Pursuant to Clause 1, Article 22 of the Intellectual Property Law). Computer programs are protected as independent works, regardless of whether they are expressed in source code or machine language.
  1. What Documents Need to be Prepared for Website Copyright Registration?

The registration dossier will vary depending on whether you want to protect the interface or the source code.

  1. Dossier for Website Interface Registration (Work of Applied Art)
  • Website copyright registration application form.
  • 02 printed copies of the website interface on A4 paper.
  • The author’s written commitment of independent creation regarding the interface, strictly without copying others.
  • The author’s declaration regarding the ownership of the work (if the author is also the owner).
  • Job assignment decision for the design employee (if the company is the owner) or a contract hiring a third party to create the interface.
  • Copies of the author’s ID card/Citizen Identity Card/Passport and a copy of the owner’s Business Registration Certificate (or Citizen Identity Card if the owner is an individual).
  1. Dossier for Website Source Code Registration (Computer Program)
  • 02 CDs containing the entire source code of the website.
  • 02 printed copies of the source code along with the website’s homepage interface.
  • The author’s written commitment of independent coding, without copying.
  • Job assignment decision for the programming employee (coder) or a contract hiring an external partner to design the website.

Advanced Skills in Industrial Design Consultation and Drafting

By

-

To sustain its reputation as a tier-one Intellectual Property Agent in Vietnam, SBLAW consistently prioritizes internal professional development as a core driving strategy. Every week, IP attorneys and specialists from both the Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City offices gather to analyze legislative updates and review complex practical case studies.

As part of this ongoing professional enhancement initiative, SBLAW recently conducted an intensive technical training seminar focused heavily on the mechanics of Industrial Design protection.

1. Overview of SBLAW’s Specialized Training Session

The technical seminar was rigorously structured to unify and elevate the quality of IP services provided to global and domestic clients:

Parameters Program Details
Topic Skills on consultancy and drafting the application of industrial design
Chairperson Mr. Ly Tran Linh – SBLAW Intellectual Property Director
Time 17:00 – 18:30
Venue Main Meeting Room, SBLAW Head Office

Chaired by Mr. Ly Tran Linh—a veteran IP attorney with nearly two decades of experience navigating industrial property rights—the training targeted practical solutions to eliminate office actions and accelerate application processing times at the Intellectual Property Office of Vietnam (IPVN).

2. Core Focal Points in Industrial Design Application Drafting

Industrial designs are highly susceptible to rejections or delays if the application dossiers are inadequately structured. During the session, SBLAW’s legal team dissected several critical procedural milestones:

  • Strategic Client Consultation: Techniques to accurately guide businesses in distinguishing between Industrial Designs (protecting visual, aesthetic appearance) and Patents/Utility Solutions (protecting internal functional or structural mechanisms).

  • Standardization of Technical Drawings and Photographs: Insufficient or non-compliant drawings are the leading cause of formal defects cited by the IPVN. The session standardized the protocols for generating orthogonal views, perspective views, and cross-sections to flawlessly represent the novelty of the product.

  • The Art of Drafting Industrial Design Specifications: Methods for utilizing precise legal-technical prose to define and claim the core distinctive features of the design, ensuring maximum enforcement leverage for the client in future infringement disputes.

3. Unwavering Commitment to Quality Through Human Capital Investment

SBLAW’s relentless focus on continuous internal training underscores our deep-seated commitment to human capital. We firmly believe that every successful industrial design patent granted to our clients is a direct result of meticulous precision during the initial drafting stage.

By standardizing our internal workflows in alignment with strict international benchmarks, SBLAW’s legal team remains fully equipped to offer local enterprises and multinational corporations secure, optimized, and time-efficient intellectual property protection strategies.

SBLAW Successfully Appeals the Intellectual Property Office’s Rejection Decision for Daio Paper Corporation

By
sblaw
-

In the intellectual property registration process, receiving an office action or a refusal notice from examiners due to subjective evaluations or oversight in prior art citations is not uncommon. However, for a tier-one Intellectual Property Agent, such challenges serve as a proving ground for expertise and resilience.

SBLAW is proud to share a landmark success story in which our IP team successfully protected the legal rights of Daio Paper Corporation (Japan), overturning a refusal from the Intellectual Property Office of Vietnam (IPVN) to secure the patent grant for their renowned GOO.N diaper packaging designs.

1. Case Background: The Unexpected Refusal from the IPVN

The dispute arose after SBLAW, acting as the legal representative for Daio Paper Corporation, initiated the design filing:

  • Filing Date: On December 9, 2011, SBLAW filed two (02) industrial design applications for GOO.N diaper packaging layouts.

  • The Refusal Notice: On September 10, 2012, the IPVN issued a substantive examination result rejecting both applications.

  • The Examiner’s Ground: The IPVN claimed that the designs lacked “novelty” because they had allegedly been publicly disclosed prior to the priority filing date on a Vietnamese community forum (the website lamchame.com).

Under IP regulations, if an industrial design is publicly disclosed anywhere in the world before its filing date, it loses its novelty status and becomes ineligible for exclusive protection.

2. Sharp Counter-Arguments and Digital Evidence by SBLAW Attorneys

Refusing to settle for an inaccurate assessment, SBLAW’s IP trial attorneys immediately scrutinized the citation file and performed a deep technical audit of the targeted lamchame.com webpage.

Leveraging advanced tech-legal expertise, SBLAW uncovered a fatal flaw in the IPVN’s cited evidence and filed a formal appeal based on two critical arguments:

Demystifying the Website’s Dynamic Content Mechanism

Although the forum thread was originally created on July 23, 2011 (prior to the filing date), it was a commercial sales thread that was continuously updated. The platform metadata verified that the final content modification was made on October 29, 2012—long after the patent application had been submitted.

Gathering Verifiable Digital Evidence

SBLAW successfully extracted digital timestamps proving that the specific images of the GOO.N packaging inside that thread were only generated and uploaded to the internet in May 2012 (nearly 6 months after Daio Paper’s official filing date). Therefore, these images could not legally constitute prior art.

3. The Outcome: IPVN Reverses Decision and Intends to Grant Patents

Confronted with the irrefutable digital evidence and strict legal deductions submitted by SBLAW on December 28, 2012, the Intellectual Property Office of Vietnam completely conceded.

Shortly thereafter, the IPVN officially rescinded its refusal and issued a Notice of Intention to Grant Patents for Daio Paper Corporation’s GOO.N industrial design applications.

This triumphant outcome not only safeguarded massive commercial interests and market share for the GOO.N brand in Vietnam but also validated the elite dispute resolution capabilities of SBLAW.

If your enterprise faces application rejections, office actions, or complex IP disputes in Vietnam, contact SBLAW today for elite representation to flip the script.

  • Minimize initial costs by delaying local attorney fees in the early stages.

  • Extend the timeline (up to 30 months) to evaluate the commercial potential of the technology before deciding to enter the national phase of specific countries.

To demonstrate our capabilities and prestige, SBLAW is pleased to share a prominent case study highlighting our collaboration with Inventor Pham Ngoc Quy – Chairman and General Director of Green Energy Company Limited (PNQ).

A Strategic Meeting at SBLAW’s Hanoi Office

On October 6, 2015, at the SBLAW Hanoi office, Lawyer Nguyen Thanh Ha (Chairman of SBLAW) held a strategic working and consulting session directly with Inventor Pham Ngoc Quy.

About Inventor Pham Ngoc Quy: He is an exemplary scientist holding numerous valuable inventions that have been filed at the Intellectual Property Office of Vietnam (IPVN). Well aware of the importance of going global, he sought SBLAW’s expertise to find the most optimal international protection strategy for PNQ’s green technologies.

The Optimal International Patent Solution by SBLAW

During the consultation, Lawyer Nguyen Thanh Ha provided an analytical breakdown of the timeline and strategic benefits of filing a patent under the PCT. Through this mechanism, the technological assets of Green Energy Company – PNQ would be comprehensively, securely, and cost-effectively protected worldwide.

Registering intellectual property rights for foreign enterprises in Vietnam demands rigorous procedural adherence and an in-depth understanding of local jurisdictions. Recently, the specialized intellectual property attorneys at SBLAW successfully advised and secured industrial design protection for Daio Paper Corporation (JP) – one of Japan’s premier paper and diaper manufacturers – at the Intellectual Property Office of Vietnam (IPVN).

1. Official Metadata of the Protected Industrial Design

Under the legal representation and management of SBLAW, the industrial design application filed by Daio Paper Corporation has been officially granted an exclusive patent with the following technical specifications:

Criteria Detailed Information
Title of Industrial Design DIAPER PACKAGING
Patent Owner Daio Paper Corporation (Japan)
Application Number 3-2014-00206
Filing Date February 18, 2014
Number of Variants / Set 02 Variants

The successful protection of the “Diaper Packaging” design with 02 distinct design variants establishes a robust legal framework for Daio Paper Corporation. This strategic barrier comprehensively safeguards its product packaging layouts against counterfeiting, imitation, or design piracy by competitors in the Vietnamese market.

2. Strategic Benefits of Industrial Design Registration for Foreign Companies

For multinational corporations like Daio Paper Corporation, Vietnam presents a lucrative yet challenging landscape regarding intellectual property enforcement. Timely registration of an industrial design yields critical strategic advantages:

  • Establishment of Exclusive Rights: It strictly prevents unauthorized third parties from manufacturing or commercializing packaging with confusingly similar visual designs that mislead consumers.

  • Enhancement of Brand Equity: An exclusive, high-recognition packaging design functions as a valuable intangible asset, strengthening the competitive edge of Japanese diaper products in the local market.

  • Enforcement Groundwork: It provides a flawless legal basis to request immediate intervention from state enforcement authorities (Market Management Bureau, Customs, and Courts) when IP disputes or infringements arise.

3. SBLAW – A Trusted Intellectual Property Partner for Global Enterprises

Securing the industrial design patent for Daio Paper Corporation (JP) further solidifies SBLAW’s standing, brand value, and extensive track record in the Intellectual Property domain.

We take pride in acting as a secure legal gateway, empowering foreign investors (particularly from Japan, South Korea, the United States, etc.) by providing:

  • Precise preliminary industrial design availability searches prior to formal filing.

  • Document preparation and optimization of technical drawings/photographs in strict alignment with the IPVN’s rigorous legal criteria.

  • Application tracking, handling office actions, and minimizing time-to-grant bottlenecks.

Patent Examination Timeline in Vietnam: Inadequacies and Expert Solutions

By

The prolonged patent examination process remains a major concern for many inventors and enterprises looking to enter the Vietnamese market. Having to wait years for a patent grant can lead to missed commercialization opportunities or render the technology obsolete before it even receives protection.

To provide readers with a comprehensive overview of this procedure as well as effective mitigation strategies, Dân Việt Newspaper conducted an in-depth interview with Mr. Nguyen Thanh Ha – Chairman of SBLAW Law Firm.

1. The Reality of Patent Registration Timelines at the IP Office of Vietnam (IPVN)

Reporter: According to current regulations, even if all procedures and fees are completed smoothly, applicants still have to wait up to 38 months (over 3 years) to obtain a patent. Meanwhile, a patent is only valid for 10 to 20 years. Could this lead to cases where the technology is already obsolete by the time mass production begins, or where counterfeiters have already reaped massive profits?

Lawyer Nguyen Thanh Ha: Under the Intellectual Property Law of Vietnam, the standard examination process for a patent application undergoes the following core phases:

  • Formality examination: 01 month from the filing date.

  • Publication of the application: In the 19th month from the filing date (or 02 months from the date of acceptance of a valid application, whichever is later).

  • Substantive examination: 18 months from the publication date.

The total examination timeline accumulates to approximately 38 months. Compared to other IP assets like trademarks (which take around 12 months), the patent registration process takes nearly three times longer.

Why is the patent examination timeline so prolonged?

This extensive duration stems from two primary causes:

  1. High Complexity: Patent examination requires specialized technical expertise and highly intricate legal assessments. Most intellectual property offices worldwide require a corresponding timeframe to ensure accuracy.

  2. Backlog of Applications: Annually, the volume of patent applications filed in Vietnam grows exponentially, whereas the number of examiners at the Intellectual Property Office of Vietnam (IPVN) has not increased proportionally to match the workload.

2. Temporary Patent Protection Rights: A Lifeline for Applicants

Reporter: Does a waiting period of over three years mean that inventors’ rights are completely unprotected against infringement during this interim stage?

Lawyer Nguyen Thanh Ha: Not necessarily. The lengthy examination process does not prevent inventors from utilizing their technology or stopping third-party infringements, thanks to the Provisional Rights mechanism.

Legal Basis for Provisional Patent Rights:

  • Clause 1, Article 131 of the IP Law: If an applicant discovers that another party is commercially exploiting their invention (without prior use rights), the applicant has the right to notify them in writing. The notice must specify the filing date and publication date to request the infringer to cease exploitation.

  • Clause 2, Article 126 of the IP Law: Any commercial use of the invention during this period without paying compensation under provisional rights regulations will be deemed an act of infringement.

Commercial Exploitation Prior to Patent Grant:

Once a patent application is officially accepted as valid and published in the Industrial Property Gazette, the applicant retains the full right to:

  • Utilize the technical solution in manufacturing and commercial operations.

  • Assign or transfer the rights of the pending patent application to a third party.

Crucial Note: While the applicant can demand that infringers immediately cease using the technology, compensation for damages incurred during the interim period can only be legally claimed after the patent is officially granted.

3. Expert Advice and Strategic Recommendations to Expedite Patent Grants

Reporter: Given these procedural challenges, what advice do you have for inventors, and do you have any policy recommendations?

Lawyer Nguyen Thanh Ha: To optimize timeframes and secure the best possible legal protection, independent inventors and businesses should proactively implement the following measures:

  • Request Early Publication: Instead of waiting until the 19th month, applicants can file a request for early publication. The invention will then be published within the 2nd month from the request date, thereby activating provisional protection rights much sooner.

  • Conduct Prior Art Searches Before R&D: This helps avoid duplicating existing technical solutions, saving significant time, capital, and labor.

  • Engage Professional Intellectual Property Attorneys: Experienced patent attorneys will assist in drafting precise patent specifications and claims from the outset. This minimizes technical errors that lead to office actions or application rejections, which significantly delay the process.

Policy Recommendation: To optimally support the startup and innovation ecosystem, I propose that the IP Office of Vietnam streamlines its workflows and leverages automation technology to reduce the substantive examination phase to 12 months instead of the current 18 months.

The journey of a trademark from initial filing to the issuance of an official protection title is a lengthy process, typically spanning 12 to 24 months (or longer depending on the complexity of the application). Applications must pass through multiple stringent examination phases:

  • Formality Examination: Assessing the validity of the application documents, declarations, and the classification of goods/services.

  • Publication of Application: Publishing the application in the Industrial Property Official Gazette to allow third parties to file oppositions if any.

  • Substantive Examination: The most critical stage, where the distinctiveness of the trademark is evaluated to ensure it does not duplicate or cause confusion with previously protected marks.

Acting as an officially authorized IP Agent, SBLAW’s dedicated team of attorneys and specialists meticulously monitored every step of the portfolio, promptly addressing notices and countering objections from the IPVN. This proactive approach safeguarded our clients’ rights and optimized the success rate of certificate issuance.

  • Enhancement of Commercial Value: A protected trademark can be valued as a corporate asset, utilized for assignments, capital contributions, or executing franchising strategies.

Perspectives on intellectual property management in the 2025 IP Law

By
sblaw
-

The Intellectual Property (IP) Law, as amended in 2025, officially came into effect on April 1, 2026. While previous amendments to the IP Law primarily focused on issues related to the establishment and enforcement of rights to meet practical demands and fulfill international commitments in new-generation FTAs, the 2025 amendment reveals a notable shift in legislative mindset. According to the author, the most significant difference in this Law lies in the fact that intellectual property are no longer viewed merely from the perspective of “rights needing protection,” but have been approached as a type of business asset that needs to be proactively managed, exploited, and commercialized.

 

It is evident that, in the context of the digital economy and where innovation is increasingly becoming the decisive factor in an enterprise’s competitiveness, lawmakers are aiming to establish a legal mechanism that encourages businesses to manage IP in the same way they manage other tangible assets. One of the clearest manifestations of this change is the new regulation in Article 8a regarding the management and exploitation of intellectual property rights, according to which “intellectual property right holders are responsible for establishing a separate portfolio for internal management of rights that do not yet meet the conditions for recognition as assets in accounting records under the provisions of accounting law.” This is a policy-oriented shift rather than a mere technical regulation.

 

When placed within the overall trend of modern corporate governance, this regulation carries a much greater significance. It is clear that lawmakers are sending a distinct message that intellectual property are no longer “invisible” factors only of concern when disputes occur or when registration for protection is needed, but have become a resource that needs to be inventoried, controlled, and exploited systematically.

 

In the past, enterprises often only focused on intellectual property once those assets had their rights established through protection titles such as Trademark Registration Certificates, Design Patents, or Invention Patents. However, in reality, many of an enterprise’s core values lie in assets that have not been “materialized” on accounting books, such as trademarks in use but not yet registered, internal software, customer databases, operational processes, trade secrets, or research and development (R&D) results currently in the completion stage.

 

Nevertheless, in many cases, these assets exist in a fragmented form, lacking a centralized management mechanism and depending on specific departments or individuals within the enterprise. This causes difficulties for businesses in controlling, exploiting, and protecting their assets, especially when disputes, transfers, or investment capital calls arise.

In that context, the regulation on establishing an internal intellectual property rights portfolio can be seen as a step toward encouraging enterprises to build a systematic and continuously updated internal IP inventory system. This is the core value of the new regulation, rather than just a matter of mere administrative procedure.

 

A systematic IP inventory system will allow enterprises to record, classify, and track all the intellectual property they hold. From this foundation, enterprises can evaluate which assets need protection registration, which have the potential for commercialization, and which require continued investment and development to form an IP portfolio with higher commercial value, often referred to as an intellectual property asset portfolio.

 

From a management perspective, it is noteworthy that establishing an IP portfolio does not only serve the objective of legal compliance. Furthermore, it serves as a basis for enterprises to change their view of intellectual property, from only recognizing assets that have been granted protection titles to identifying all internal creative results.

 

Through this systematic “data warehouse,” enterprises can screen potential assets to build a robust intellectual property portfolio, creating an advantage in commercial transactions. This is also an important testament to capacity and reputation, helping enterprises convince investors in fundraising or M&A deals thanks to transparency regarding legal status. Most importantly, this centralized recording system allows enterprises to proactively control risks, from managing protection terms to securing trade secrets and avoiding unintended legal disputes.

 

It can be seen that the regulation on establishing an internal intellectual property rights portfolio is not merely a new legal obligation. Furthermore, it is a sign showing the change in the way modern enterprises create and manage value. As intellectual property increasingly becomes a core factor of competitiveness, building a systematic management system will no longer be an encouraged choice, but will gradually become an inevitable requirement for enterprises in the knowledge economy.
