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.
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.
