Vietnam’s IP Law is fairly liberal on the rights to register marks. Under the law, any organization or individual has the right to register marks to be used for goods they produce or services they provide. In practice, except for collective marks or certification marks, which are strictly regulated, anyone (legal entities or individuals) can apply for a trademark or a service mark for any kind of goods or services, as the trademark office does not request any documents showing their legal status or intention of use at the time of filing.
