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
-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.
