What will be required to file your brand in Vietnam?
A straightforward trademark registration process takes 12 months. Our attorney will file your trademark within 7 business days, after receiving the required details and documents. An application filed with the National Office of Intellectual Property goes through the formality examination.
The time frame for the examination of an application is one month from the filing date.
After the formality examination is completed the NOIP sends a notice of acceptance of a valid application, or a notice of intended refusal (with a request to correct mistakes).
Within 2 months from the date the application is accepted, it will be published in the Industrial Property Official Gazette for opposition. An additional fee should be paid for such publication.
The next stage is the substantive examination. The purpose of the examination is to determine the eligibility of objects claimed in the application under the requirements.
The examination will be performed by examiners within 6-9 months from the date of publication.
Within 10 days after acceptance the applicant pays the registration fees, the NOIP issues the Mark Registration Certificate.
The Certificate should be recorded in the National Register of Marks and the decision on granting the mark registration should be published in the Industrial Property Official Gazette within 2 months from the date of issuance.
A trademark registration is valid for 10 years from the date of application.
The registration is renewable for periods of 10 years.
If the trademark has not been used within 5 years from registration any interested party may petition for cancellation.
If a mark has not been used for 5 years and no cancellation action is taken against it, in this case, the mark is protected.
