Frequently asked questions

How long does trademark registration take?

In practice it usually takes 12–18 months from filing. Your priority is counted from the filing date, so file as early as possible.

What should I do if someone else uses my trademark?

Keep evidence (photos, links, purchase receipts) and contact a lawyer. Depending on the case, Justix can send a warning letter, request marketplace takedowns, seek administrative penalties or sue.

How long does a trademark registration last?

10 years from the filing date, renewable any number of times for 10 years each (Article 93(6), Law on Intellectual Property).

Does a Vietnamese registration protect me abroad?

No. Trademark rights are territorial: to be protected in a country you must file there, directly or through the Madrid System.

Do I have to register copyright?

No. Copyright arises once a work is created and fixed in a material form. Registration gives you ready evidence if a dispute arises.
