Vietnam rubber trademark announced

By

-

The Vietnamese rubber trademark, “Vietnam Rubber”, has been accredited by the National Office of Intellectual Property under the Ministry of Science and Technology.

The accreditation came after two years of administrative procedures. It covers 11 products classified into three categories – natural rubber, industrial rubber and rubber-wood.

Currently, the Vietnam Rubber Association has registered for intellectual property of the Vietnamese rubber products in the Indian, Chinese and Taiwanese markets and will continue procedures to legalize the trademark in other markets.

Ha Cong Tuan, Deputy Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development, said products with Vietnamese rubber labels reflect commitments to quality standards of domestic producers, which would provide stronger safeguards for Vietnamese exported goods.

The rubber sector experienced a tough year in 2016, given low global demand, high inventory levels and dropping prices of natural rubber products.

However, Vietnam has managed to maintain its second place in plantation productivity and third in output and exports worldwide.

Six businesses have been received the trademark certification, including Phuoc Hoa, Dong Nai, Hang Gon and Dau Tieng rubber companies.

IP rights must be ensured: official

By

HCM CITY – Protection of intellectual property will be an essential factor to further innovation and economic growth of the country, an official with the Ministry of Science and Technology has said.

Speaking at the International Innovation Business Forum held in HCM City yesterday, deputy minister Trần Việt Thanh said that intellectual property (IP) was an unlimited resource and the result of people’s innovation, unlike limited resources such as labour, capital and land.

Protection and trading of IP rights would bring great benefits not only to businesses but to the entire economy, he said.

The role of IP is critical as Việt Nam integrates more deeply in the global economy.

Thanh said that IP would be a decisive factor in strengthening the competitive capacity of enterprises as well as the entire economy.

Around 1,500 patents, 15,000 industrial designs and 160,000 trademarks of businesses in Việt Nam are protected currently.

By trading their own intellectual property, businesses could recoup their expenses for creating, developing and protecting IP, and, at the same time, increase IP value, Thanh said.

He noted that foreign organisations had recognised the value of several Vietnamese companies’ intangible assets.

For example, the Vinamilk brand last year was valued at US$1.1 billion, accounting for 22 per cent of the company’s wealth. The Viettel brand was valued at $580 million and Vinhomes at $343 million.

A recent survey by the ministry showed that in the 2000-14 period there was an increase in the number of intellectual asset licenses among businesses in Việt Nam, he said.

The number of Vietnamese intellectual assets transferred to foreign investors was also on the increase, with sales in 2014 rising by 20 times over the figure in 2006.

Sales of intellectual property mainly occur in industries such as pharmaceutical, pharmaceutical chemistry, processing, food preservation, garment and textile, engine manufacturing, electrical equipment and medical equipment.

The entry of foreign investors from South Korea, the US, China, Thailand, Japan and other countries had contributed to the promotion of commercialisation of intangible property of Vietnamese firms, he said.

Lại Tiến Mạnh, director of Mibrand Việt Nam, noted that brands were the most important intellectual asset of a business.

Products with a good brand name can command prices 10 times higher than one with a weak brand, even though the product may be similar, he said.

Total brand value in Việt Nam, however, remains very low compared to other countries.

The total value of the country’s 50 leading brands is only $5.5 billion, slightly higher than a Singaporean brand (BBS bank valued at $4.4 billion), he said.

Many local firms had not protected their intellectual property, he said.

Without IP protection, a company’s investment in research and development, product differentiation, and marketing could be stolen or copied.

He said that Vietnamese companies should focus on improving their brand value and become more aware of intellectual property rights.

The Government should also develop a legal framework that allows adding a company’s brand value to its total asset value, he said.

Thanh said that the Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP) trade agreement would set high standards on intellectual property protection.

But the enforcement of such regulations would be a challenge for many Vietnamese firms, he added.

In the long run, however, better protection of intellectual property is expected to provide stronger incentives for businesses to invest in creative industries that Việt Nam is seeking to develop, Thanh said.

The forum was organised by the Ministry of Science and Technology, Business Association of High-Quality Vietnamese Goods, Business Studies and Assistance Centre, and Leading Business Club. – VNS

Please kindly confirm.
