A trademark is more than just a logo; it is the heartbeat of your commercial identity. However, many businesses overlook a critical detail: trademark rights in Vietnam are not permanent.

Under Vietnam’s Intellectual Property Law, protection lasts for an initial 10 years. To ensure your brand remains secure, renewal is essential to:

• Maintain Continuous Ownership: Retain exclusive rights and avoid losing legal control.
• Block Infringers: Prevent competitors from claiming your mark once it lapses.
• Preserve Financial Value: Safeguard the reputation you’ve spent years building.

The Deadline Checklist:

• Standard Window: File within 6 months before the expiry date.
• Grace Period: A 6-month window exists post-expiry (extra fees apply).

Keep your protection seamless. Periodic maintenance is the small price for long-term brand security.
