IP enforcement today, THE LAM LAW LLC – Your legal need, Our Mission would like to share some key takeaways from this event:
1️⃣ RIGHTS ESTABLISHMENT – THE FOUNDATION OF EFFECTIVE ENFORCEMENT
🔹 Bad-faith trademark filings are now expressly recognized under Vietnam’s amended IP Law, yet the burden of proof remains substantial
🔹 Legal gaps persist in the protection of non-traditional trademarks (3D marks, trade dress, sound marks)
👉 Brand protection must begin long before disputes arise
2️⃣ DIGITAL PLATFORMS – THE NEW FRONTLINE OF IP ENFORCEMENT
🔹 Alibaba, Shopee and TikTok Shop shared a common direction:
– Fast and structured Notice & Takedown mechanisms
– AI & LLM-powered detection of increasingly sophisticated infringements
– Strong Repeat Offender / “3 Strikes” policies
– Cross-border enforcement against multi-market infringers
👉 IP enforcement is no longer reactive — it is becoming real-time, data-driven and preventive.
3️⃣ JUDICIAL DEVELOPMENTS – A POSITIVE SIGNAL FROM VIETNAM
🔹 The establishment of specialized IP courts in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City marks an important milestone
🔹 This development is expected to enhance:
Specialized adjudication
Consistency and predictability in complex, high-value IP disputes
