Dr. Ngo Phuong Lan, Chairwoman of the Vietnam Cinema Promotion and Development Association and Director of DANAFF IV, said the Politburo's Resolution No. 57-NQ/TW on breakthroughs in science, technology, innovation, and national digital transformation, and Resolution No. 80-NQ/TW on the development of Vietnamese culture have created a solid foundation for advancing cultural industries and a creative economic sector, and strengthening IP protection, opening up new opportunities for Vietnam's film sector.

The two sides agreed to continue advancing cooperation under the signed agreements, strengthen information exchange, enhance enforcement capacity and develop new initiatives to improve the fight against counterfeit goods and intellectual property infringements in the coming years.

Tran Le Hong, Deputy Director of the Intellectual Property Office of Vietnam under the Ministry of Science and Technology, said Vietnam has consistently pursued a policy of comprehensive and effective IP protection while balancing the interests of rights holders with the public interest. The approach aims to foster innovation, support international integration and contribute to socio-economic development.

Vietnam is committed to building a transparent and healthy business and investment environment, promoting innovation and fully implementing its international commitments.

VASEP advised firms to treat the US' placement of Vietnam on its highest-level watch list for IP protection and enforcement as an early warning and immediately review their entire compliance management apparatus.

A working delegation from the northern mountainous province of Dien Bien, led by head of the provincial Party Committee's Board for Mass Mobilisation and President of the province’s Vietnam Fatherland Front Committee Lo Van Mung, had a working session with the World Intellectual Property Organisation (WIPO) as part of their trip to Switzerland from October 4-7.

Experts are again issuing a warning to local enterprises to pay attention to intellectual property (IP) rights when doing business overseas.

The Prime Minister has recently issued Decision No 2205/QD-TTg approving the intellectual property (IP) development programme to 2030.

Amid increasingly sophisticated and complex intellectual property (IP) violations, Vietnamese businesses remained slow to register their products and protect their rights, said experts.

Vietnam had 695 local special products registered for intellectual property protection in 2018 out of more than 4,800 specialties.

Enterprises have been reluctant to cooperate with universities on commercialisation of their inventions and products because of the lack of intellectual property (IP) protection, according to the Vietnam Invention Association.

Vietnam will work to raise the quantity as well as quality of applications for inventions in the coming years, delegates said at a seminar in Ho Chi Minh City on October 23. ​
