Question: Dear Sir, We recently signed a new project name in HCMC, however we wish to have your advice if it is necessary for us to register:
– Compnay Project Trademark in VN; and
– Company Project Saigon brand in VN for copyright.
If yes, please advise what the process will be?
Look forward to hearing from you in the soonest
IP Lawyer of SBLAW: In our opinion, you should register trademark of new project in Vietnam in order to make sure that your Intellectual Property (IP) rights shall be well protected in Vietnam.
If you wish to register your trademark in Vietnam, you must submit the application dossier to the National Office of Intellectual Property (NOIP).
It shall take you about 12 months from submission date of application dossier to obtain Certificate of Trademark Registration (Smooth forward case).
We would like to note that if you intend to register such Trademarks under the name of your company abroad, you must authorize a licensed IP Agents to follow the process. SBLAW is a licensed IP Agent in Vietnam and we can assist you.
