On 05 May 2026, the Prime Minister of Vietnam issued Official Dispatch No. 38/CĐ-TTg launching a nationwide enforcement campaign against intellectual property infringement from 07 May 2026 to 30 May 2026.

🚨 Key enforcement focus areas include:
🎬 Illegal movie, music, software and digital content platforms;
🖥️ Unlicensed software usage within enterprises;
🛍️ Counterfeit goods, trademark infringement and fake branded products;
📦 Import/export goods suspected of violating IP rights;

⚖️ Criminal investigation and prosecution of serious IP infringement cases.
