MITIGATE RISKS

Common Blindspots in Intellectual Property Protection

Early protection helps prevent disputes, strengthens your market position, and safeguards future growth.

01

A business registration certificate does not equal trademark protection

A business registration certificate does not replace trademark registration. The name and logo used to distinguish your products or services should be considered separately for trademark protection.

02

Conduct trademark searches before investing in branding

Trademark searches provide clarity before you invest in packaging, signage, and marketing materials, helping to minimize the risk of costly revisions later.

03

Your brand is more than just a name

Product designs, packaging, software, formulas, and other innovations may require their own protection. Focusing on the brand name alone can leave key business assets vulnerable.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Frequently Asked Questions

Key insights you may want to know before registering intellectual property.

General Intellectual Property
Intellectual Property (IP) refers to legal rights that protect creations, innovations and business assets. It includes trademarks, patents, industrial designs, copyrights and other forms of IP protection that give owners exclusive rights over their intellectual assets.

Different types of IP protect different aspects of your business:

  • Trademarks: protect names, logos and other identifiers that distinguish your products or services.
  • Patents: protect new inventions and technological solutions.
  • Industrial Designs: protect the visual or aesthetic features of a product.
  • Copyrights: protect original creative and artistic works.

Understanding the differences can help you determine the right protection for your business assets.

Trademarks
No. A trademark registration in Vietnam is generally valid for 10 years from the filing date and can be renewed for successive 10-year periods.
No. Trademark protection can be important for businesses of all sizes. Registering your trademark helps establish your rights and protects the brand identity you have built.
It is advisable to file as early as possible. Vietnam follows a first-to-file system, meaning trademark rights generally favour the party that files first.
A trademark search can help identify identical or similar marks that may affect the registrability of your proposed trademark. KASS can assist with assessing the availability of your mark and guide you through the filing process.
Individuals and organisations conducting business may apply for trademark registration. Depending on the applicant's residence or business presence in Vietnam, an authorised industrial property representative may be required to act on their behalf.
A trademark application can be amended within the scope permitted by law. However, amendments must not broaden the scope of protection compared to the original application. KASS will provide specific guidance based on the status and requirements of each dossier.
Patents

In general, an invention must meet three key criteria:

  • Novelty: the invention must be new worldwide.
  • Inventive step: the invention must involve an inventive contribution.
  • Industrial applicability: the invention must be capable of practical application in industry.
Certain subject matter is excluded from patent protection, including discoveries, scientific theories, mathematical methods, certain biological processes, business methods, methods of medical treatment and computer programs per se. The applicable exclusions depend on the relevant legislation.
Maintaining confidentiality before filing can help preserve the novelty of an invention, which is an important requirement for patent protection.
Industrial Designs
An industrial design protects the visual and aesthetic features of a product, including aspects such as its shape, configuration, pattern or ornamentation.
A design generally needs to meet the applicable requirements for registration and must not fall within excluded subject matter. Features dictated solely by function and certain other excluded features may not qualify for protection. Designs contrary to public order or morality are also not registrable.
A registered design owner has exclusive rights in relation to commercial activities involving products to which the registered design has been applied, including making, importing, selling, hiring and offering the products for sale or hire.
Copyright
Copyright can protect original creative works such as books, music, photographs, videos, software source code, manuals and other literary, artistic and musical works, subject to applicable legal requirements.
Copyright owners generally have exclusive rights to control the reproduction, adaptation, translation, performance and display of their protected works, subject to applicable law.
