Access Asoka Law’s Analysis of Vietnam’s 2025 Law on Intellectual Property

Some of the changes introduced under Vietnam’s 2025 Law on Intellectual Property may appear technical at first glance. In practice, however, they can significantly affect how businesses protect, manage, and commercialize their intellectual property.

From our review and practical experience, several of these updates are not immediately obvious and may lead to misinterpretation if applied without a structured legal assessment.

For this reason, Asoka Law has prepared an in-depth analytical briefing to provide businesses with a clear and structured understanding of the key changes introduced by the amended 2025 IP Law.

Document Overview

This 88-page briefing is structured as a comparative analysis of previous and amended legal provisions, with a focus on practical implications for business operations in Vietnam.

The document highlights several key areas, including:

• The use of data and artificial intelligence (AI) in creative processes and the establishment of intellectual property rights;
• Updates to registration procedures and documentation requirements for IP applications;
• Examination and rights-handling mechanisms that may affect registration outcomes;
• Compliance obligations and the protection of intellectual property rights in the digital environment;
• A shift toward treating intellectual property as a strategic asset that can be actively managed and commercially leveraged;
• Strengthened enforcement mechanisms and expanded remedies in infringement cases, where applicable.
