INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS

Vietnam is a long time signatory to the Paris Convention, the Madrid Agreement on International Trademark Registration, and the Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT) and became a member of the World Intellectual Property Organization in 1976. On 27 June 1997, Vietnam entered into an Agreement on Copyright with the US. According to the Vietnam – US Bilateral Trade Agreement, Vietnam is also obliged to adhere to the Berne Convention.

The National Office of Industrial Property (NOIP) is the authority responsible for the registration of industrial property and the resolution of disputes with regard to industrial property in the first instance. Foreign organizations and individuals who seek to register their industrial ownership should file their applications through an authorized agent, who will transfer their application to the NOIP. Also, trademark license agreements must be registered with the NOIP. The Office of Copyright  Protection under the Ministry of Culture and Information has also been established and is responsible for the protection of copyright. Works may be registered with the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism.

Currently, patents are protected for a period of 20 years. A certificate of utility solutions may be granted for 10 years. A certificate of industrial design is granted for five years and may be renewed every five years; however, the total effective period of a certificate cannot exceed 15 years.  Certificates of trademarks are granted for 10 years with no restrictions on the number of renewals. Some moral rights of copyrighted works are protected indefinitely, and other rights are protected up to 50 years for post mortem actors.

Vietnam: ASEAN Patent Examination Co-Operation (ASPEC) Program

40881614 - patent word cloud

The ASEAN Patent Examination Co-operation (ASPEC) is the first regional patent work-sharing program among ASEAN IP Offices, with objective of reducing duplication of the patent search and examination (S&E) work, thereby saving time and improving the quality of S&E results.

Currently, almost all the ASEAN member states (AMS) are part of this program includes: Brunei Darussalam, Cambodia, Indonesia, Lao PDR, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam.

With ASPEC, one application claims priority from another or both applications claim priority to the same basis application. Although the S&E results carried out by one Office is not binding on other Offices, it is of persuasive value. In other words, the S&E results of another AMS IP Office serves as a useful reference in producing quality reports.

In addition, ASPEC operates in the English language on all participating AMS IP Offices, so it is time-saving and resources. Besides, there is free-of-charge to the applicant at any participating AMS IP Offices. However, local search and examination fees at AMS IP Offices will still apply.

Some of AMS IP Offices allow the ASPEC request be filed when responding to an adverse report and, in accordance with the National Office of Intellectual Property (NOIP), even any time before a final determination of grant or refusal in Vietnam.

All patent applicants are allowed to participate in the ASPEC program, if they satisfy any one of the requirements under the ASPEC system works. For the purposes of illustration, below is a graphical representation of ASPECs scenarios. And it represents a Corresponding Application with respect to a Vietnam Application, if the ASPEC Request Form is filed with the NOIP.

Required Document

Patent Applicants shall be met just one common form – the ASPEC Request Form, without the need to pay any fee. The following English documents may be requested and furnished together with the said form:

  • A copy of the search report (if required);
  • A copy of the examination report;
