27

On February 15, 2025, SBLAW, in its role as an industrial property representative, received numerous emails from the intellectual property office of Vietnam regarding notifications related to the examination process of applications submitted to the Office. Accordingly, applicants can visit the Office’s online search webiste, enter the code provided in the email, and download the notification file.

An important point highlighted in the email is that the electronic document will REPLACE THE PAPER VERSION. This can be considered as a significant advancement by the Vietnam IP Office in applying information technology to the examination process of applications submitted to the Office. This development aligns with the practical trends observed in other countries worldwide.
