Ten Vietnamese records in the field of intellectual property were announced at a ceremony in Ho Chi Minh City on April 26, on the occasion of the World Intellectual Day 2013.

The records aim to honour intellectual property values and promote the public awareness of intellectual property rights.

Among the records are the organisation with the most copyright certificates – the MTV Vietnam Education Publishing House Ltd and the person having the most copyright certificates, Bui Van Ngo.

In addition, Huynh Cong Nhan is recognised as the first Vietnamese to register an international patent under the Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT) system and Venerable Thich Hue Dang is the first monk in the country to receive a patent.

The poem “O hai dau noi nho” (At two ends of nostalgia) by journalist Tran Dinh Chinh sets the record in copyright transfer at 300 million VND.-VNA
