Consulting a comprehensive strategy of trademark registration in Vietnam for Clients
SB has a advanced consulting process after 15 years for local and international clients, individuals and institutions. We can help clients with the following tasks:
+ Investigate the possibility of bringing the product to market:
Before a product is launched on the Vietnam market, it is necessary to ensure that the trademark bearing that product is not identical or similar to a trademark that has been registered by another party before. SB’s team of trademark lawyers will make appropriate strategies for each type of product so that they can come to the most accurate conclusions about risks and safety when bringing products to the Vietnam market.
+ Conduct the search for availability of trademark before submitting an official application of trademark in Vietnam at the National Office of Intellectual Property of Vietnam
In Vietnam, trademark ownership is established on the basis that who registers first, the right of priority is given to that person (first to file). Annually, tens of thousands of trademark applications are file, and the idea of the same or similar trademark between the parties is common. Therefore, trademark applicants should conduct a trademark search before submitting a formal trademark application. The search results will show whether the Applicant’s trademark is identical or similar to another’s trademark registered for the same or similar products.
The trademark search is absolutely necessary to avoid the case that after waiting for the trademark application to be approved (at least 16-18 months), the result is that the Trademark is refused to grant trademark certificate. Then, businesses or individuals will have to remake another trademark.
Therefore, in order to assess the possibility of trademark registration, SB provides the trademark search services to help businesses and organizations evaluate the possibility of trademark registration. Basic information to know about trademark search is as follows:
- Search time: 05 days
- Search Documents: The applicant needs to provide us with the following documents to conduct the search:
- trademark samples;
- list of goods/services bearing the mark.
