A trademark search prior to filing a trademark application is not compulsory, however it is highly recommended by us to save time and costs since the duration for trademark registration in Vietnam is rather long, in around one year.
SBLaw is able to conduct registrability searches with the National Office of Intellectual Property (NOIP) and the search report along with our professional opinion regarding the availability and registrability of the mark will be rendered within 5-7 working days.
To enable us to proceed with a trademark search, the following information is necessary:
(i) A clear specimen of the mark ; and
(ii) The list of goods/services and the corresponding international class, if known
