Why choose Asoka to manage your IP portfolio?

One contact for your IP portfolio

Keep records organised and response and renewal deadlines in view. Asoka tracks your trademark files across jurisdictions, bringing updates together in a clear, accessible overview.

A clear path when new needs arise

When you need a new filing, renewal, record amendment or contract advice, Asoka can take the next steps with an informed understanding of your existing files.

IP expertise grounded in your business

IP management should reflect how your business uses its assets and earns revenue from them. Asoka connects protection records with licensing agreements, helping you identify which rights to maintain, where to extend protection and which obligations to track to safeguard revenue.

Start with a list of your trademarks, copyrights or contracts. You do not need to organise every document first. Asoka will guide you on what to provide so we can identify your needs and define the scope of the handover.

Together, we confirm the records to be handed over, priority tasks and key contacts. We agree on the service scope, fees and any separate review or record clean-up before work begins.

Once the engagement is in place, Asoka sets up your register and work calendar under the selected plan. We agree on how updates, reminders and reports will be shared to keep management consistent.

Frequently asked Questions

Do you need IP management?
When does a business need IP asset management?

When trademark records, copyright documents and licensing agreements sit with different teams or agents, it becomes harder to track rights and next steps. IP asset management brings this information together, tracks deadlines and identifies priorities, particularly as your business adds brands, enters new markets or licenses IP to others.

Do I need the service if I only have a few trademarks?

Even a small portfolio needs consistent follow-up when no one is responsible for it. Trademark Docket Management helps you track applications and registrations in Vietnam and prepare for key deadlines. You can start with a limited scope that fits your needs.

Can Asoka manage files handled by another firm?

Yes. Asoka reviews the available documents, current status and pending tasks before agreeing on the handover. Taking over file management and formally changing the representative on record are assessed separately for each case.

Service scope
What types of IP assets does Asoka manage?

The service focuses on trademarks used in business and franchising, and copyrights used in licensing. Depending on your plan, Asoka tracks protection records, ownership details, the scope of rights or obligations under IP agreements.

Does IP management include registration, renewal and enforcement?

Management fees cover the tracking, updates and reporting specified in your plan. New applications, renewals, record amendments and enforcement work are scoped and quoted separately as needed. Asoka confirms the work and fees for your approval before proceeding.

Does Asoka track licensing and franchising agreements?

Yes, under IP Licensing Management. Asoka brings together details of the assets, licensees, permitted use and key obligations to track reporting, reconciliation, payments and renewals. Revenue audits and debt recovery are not automatically included.

Working with Asoka
What will I receive?

Depending on your plan, you receive a file or contract register, status updates, a work calendar and periodic reports. These show which assets are being tracked, what is coming due and which matters need your decision.

Does appointing Asoka affect my IP ownership?

No. Appointing Asoka to manage your IP does not transfer ownership of your trademarks or copyrights, or control over their commercial use. Asoka acts within the agreed engagement and authorisation. You retain decisions on maintaining, extending, licensing or assigning your rights.

Will I still need someone in-house to coordinate?

Yes. You appoint a contact to provide documents, confirm information and approve decisions. Asoka handles the tracking and follow-up agreed under your plan, helping your team stay informed about matters that need attention.

Fees and getting started
How are IP asset management fees determined?

Fees depend on the scope and limits of your plan, including the number of applications, registrations, records, countries, contracts or licensees to be tracked. If your portfolio exceeds those limits or needs a separate review or record clean-up, Asoka confirms the additional scope and fees before taking it on.

What do I need to get started?

Start with a list of your IP assets, copies of applications or registrations, IP agreements and any notices requiring action. If your records are scattered, Asoka will guide you on what else to provide. Share files with approaching deadlines first so we can identify priorities together.

What if I’m unsure which plan fits my portfolio?

Share a brief list of your IP assets and the issues you find difficult to track. Asoka will review this information with you and recommend a suitable plan, confirming its scope, limits and fees before you commit.
