Vietnam intellectual property management and enforcement
Overview
In late September 2026, Deputy Prime Minister Ho Quoc Dung directed the Ministry of Science and Technology to address systemic bottlenecks in the valuation of intellectual property rights and the development of the science and technology market. Officials identified challenges such as low commercialization rates for research, insufficient business participation in R&D, and unclear mechanisms for managing assets derived from state-funded tasks.
By mid-October 2026, enforcement data revealed a significant rise in violations. Authorities processed 336 intellectual property rights violations during the first nine months of the year, marking a 150% increase compared to 2025. Most cases involved trademarks and geographical indications, while seven cases resulted in criminal proceedings. In response, officials announced plans to increase inspections in commercial hubs and heighten monitoring of e-commerce and digital platforms.
