Vietnam is looking to amend regulations on administratively sanctioning industrial property infringements

The Ministry of Science and Technology (MOST) has recently published for public consultation a draft decree (“Draft Decree”) amending provisions on sanctioning administrative violations inter alia  in the field of industrial property in Decree No. 99/2013/ND-CP (“Decree 99”).1 According to the accompanying proposal to the Government, the key motives of this round of amendments are:-

  • to adopt changes in the Amended Law on Handling Administrative Violations which will take effect from 1 January 2022; and
  • to address shortcomings and problems witnessed in the eight-year implementation of Decree 99.

New Amendments To Vietnam’s Customs Law Will Aid IP Enforcement

Vietnam's National Assembly has passed sweeping amendments to the country's Customs Law, fundamentally transforming how intellectual property rights are enforced at the border. The reforms extend customs enforcement to goods in transit, introduce ex officio suspension powers, and establish new monitoring frameworks for e-commerce shipments. These changes come in direct response to international pressure and represent Vietnam's most significant upgrade to border IP protection in years.
