Asoka’s lawyers have in-depth IP expertise and answered my questions about contributing trademarks and copyright as company capital. Their advice was clear and concise, and the team was responsive and reliable. I later engaged Asoka Law to handle the formalities for my trademark capital contribution.

Frequently asked Questions

Choosing Your Package
Which consultation package should I choose?

Choose IP STRATEGY if you plan to register a trademark or copyright; IP PROTECTION if you face a refusal, opposition, infringement warning or dispute; and IP TRANSACTIONS for advice on licensing, assignment, franchising or contributing IP as company capital.

What if I’m not sure which package fits my needs?

Select the closest scenario and briefly describe what you need to resolve. If you’re unsure, submit an enquiry so Asoka can check the scope before you pay. This initial review helps identify the right service; substantive legal advice is provided through a paid package.

Can I use these packages for personal data protection advice?

These three packages cover intellectual property matters. For personal data protection, DPIA or DTIA support, select the relevant category when submitting your enquiry. Asoka will identify the appropriate service and scope.

Scope & Documents
What should I prepare before the consultation?

Describe your issue, desired outcome and any deadlines, and provide the relevant documents. These may include your trademark, creative work, registration certificate, refusal notice, warning letter, agreement or evidence. Please submit complete, legible documents in chronological order.

Can one package cover multiple trademarks or issues?

Each package has a defined scope. IP STRATEGY covers one trademark or creative work in one country. IP PROTECTION covers one case with one main objective. IP TRANSACTIONS covers one IP asset, one transaction type and one country. Additional work is quoted separately before it begins.

Does IP TRANSACTIONS include drafting an agreement?

No. It includes reviewing up to three documents totalling 20 pages, including appendices, in Vietnamese or English; one online consultation of up to 60 minutes; and a written IP Transaction Action Plan. Full agreement drafting or review, negotiations, valuation and filing procedures are separate services.

Booking & Payment
How do I book and pay by QR code?

Choose your package, complete the form, submit the required documents and review your order. Once your request is ready for payment, scan the order’s QR code. Check the recipient, amount and payment reference before confirming the transfer.

Is my appointment confirmed as soon as I pay?

Payment alone does not confirm your appointment. For IP PROTECTION and IP TRANSACTIONS, Asoka confirms your appointment within one business day of receiving complete documents and confirming payment. IP STRATEGY is based on your submitted documents, with the written advice delivered by email.

What does the listed fee include? Are there additional charges?

The listed fee includes VAT, advice and deliverables specified in your package. Registration fees, official fees, translation, third-party costs and implementation work outside the package are excluded. Any additional work and fees are agreed with you before work begins.

Deliverables & Next Steps
What will I receive, and when?

You receive a written Action Plan tailored to your package. For IP STRATEGY, delivery is within two business days of receiving complete documents and confirming payment. For IP PROTECTION, it is within one business day after your consultation; for IP TRANSACTIONS, within two business days after your consultation.

Does Asoka guarantee registration or a successful dispute outcome?

Asoka assesses the legal grounds, risks and options based on the information and documents you provide. Outcomes also depend on the evidence, other parties and decisions by the relevant authorities. Our advice may identify a need for further documents or recommend against proceeding at that stage.

Can Asoka handle the next steps after my consultation?

Yes. You can follow the guidance yourself or ask Asoka to assist with registration, infringement matters, dispute representation, agreements or related work. The scope, fees and timeline for further services are agreed separately before work begins.

100% of clients say, “I’m satisfied!” after consulting with Asoka’s lawyers and advisors.
