The development of international supply chains has become a
critical success factor for big companies, and should be seen as important key
for products of developing countries to gain entry into high standard market
such as USA, European Countries, and Japan. However, many Vietnam companies
have experienced problems in shifting their supply chain abroad as well as
managed their intellectual property such as geographical indication,
trademarks.
Protecting Intellectual Property
Rights Abroad for Vietnam Enterprises
On October 24th, 2017, Vietnam
Intellectual Property Association (VIPA) in cooperation with the World
Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), Vietnam Chamber of Commerce and
Industry (VCCI), International Association for the Protection of Intellectual
Property Rights (AIPPI) organized the seminar “Protecting intellectual property
rights abroad for Vietnamese enterprises” to provide Vietnam companies value
information for protecting their Intellectual Property right in the
Fourth Industrial Revolution and global supply chain development.
All the experts have strongly recognized the important role of
intellectual property protection abroad for Vietnamese enterprises and
introduced:
-Introduction to the International World of Intellectual
property
-Protecting a valuable asset- How to protect your Brand with
Madrid
-Options to protect an invention: Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT) and trade Secrets
-Introduction to the international design System- Hague
-Other WIPO services, Tools and Products
-About International Association for the
Protection of Intellectual Property- AIPPI (Association Internationale
pour la Protection de la Propriété Intellectuelle) Vietnam is a member of the WIPO and is a signatory to the Paris
Convention for the Protection of Industrial Property. It has acceded to the
Patent Cooperation Treaty and the Madrid Agreement Concerning the International
Registration of Marks, and in 2004 joined the Berne Convention. Therefore, the
Vietnamese enterprises should file trademarks, patents or industrial designs by
international systems for saving cost and managing the registration procedures
effectively. However, it is suggested that the international Bureau of WIPO
does not decide whether trademarks, patents or industrial designs are eligible
for protection or not, and the final decisions must depend on Intellectual
Property law of each country i.e. Vietnam. For differences of laws in every
country and difficult techniques when preparing Intellectual Property application, applicants should find valuable assistant
from Intellectual Property agent.
