Counterfeit destroys businesses,
business environments, markets as well as the image of the country. Handling trademark infringement in Vietnam has been
practically challenging.
Vietnam government has been trying to curb the counterfeits
however the results are limited. The counterfeit business generates huge
profits due to the gap price anywhere in the world. Almost goods which
is either popular or luxury, high or low-value of either domestic or foreign
brands are being counterfeited, imitated in Vietnam. Falsification of
household goods, food, cosmetics, shoes and items of higher value such as bags,
watches, glasses, etc may be found all over Vietnam. For effective anti-counterfeit,
we need a close cooperation among the authority agencies in inspection, control
of production, import and circulation in the market. The Southern
Department of Goods Quality Control in Vietnam in one of its regular
inspections when cooperating with competent agencies in Ho Chi Minh City found
after checking 79 stores with 416 items including: oil, helmets, toys,
electronic devices that 33.89% of goods of unsatisfactorily labeled, 14.5%
unsatisfactory quality. Where the consumers buy counterfeit goods, they could
and should report to State authorities, Anti-Counterfeit and Brand
Protection Association as an effort to contribute to curbing counterfeit in
Vietnam. The international brands being infringed could request
assistance from local law firms in Vietnam.
