Viet Nam News reporter Phuong Uyen talked to Nguyen Thi Phi Nga, lawyer, licensed IP attorney and Counsel at Hogan Lovells International LLP, about the country’s future in IP protection and national brand establishment.
Many Vietnamese food producers have reported breaches and misuse of their brand images, with not only domestic firms but also foreign firms violating Vietnamese producers’ intellectual property (IP) rights.
Protection of intellectual property will be an essential factor to
further innovation and economic growth of the country, an official with
the Ministry of Science and Technology has said.
Businesses need to be fully aware of the importance of intellectual
property (IP) and make it a critical part of their development
strategies, especially when the country is now a member of the
Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP).
