Settlement Of IP Disputes Through Arbitration In Vietnam

The option of resolving IP disputes through arbitration has recently become popular in Southeast Asia and the world. Prominent countries in arbitration are Singapore and Hong Kong. In the near future, Vietnam is also expected to follow more closely this method of dispute settlement, amending and promulgating a more detailed law regulating the settlement of disputes over intellectual property and related fields through arbitration.

In 2019 Singapore's Parliament passed the Intellectual Property Act to make it clear that disputes involving all forms of intellectual property are admissible in Singapore through arbitration. Hong Kong also passed a similar law, considering many advantages of dispute resolution through arbitration compared to courts.
