Fashion Law 2024 – Vietnam

Attorneys from Tilleke & Gibbins in Vietnam have provided an updated Vietnam chapter for Fashion Law 2024, a guide to law surrounding the business of fashion in jurisdictions around the world.

The guide, which covers 20 key jurisdictions in the global fashion industry, offers insights into local legal frameworks for a range of issues, such as brand enforcement and protection, e-commerce and marketing, and sustainability.

The Vietnam chapter of Fashion Law 2024 provides detailed information on the following topics:

  • Main intellectual property rights for fashion products
  • Contractual arrangements in manufacturing, distribution, and advertising
  • Regulations and enforcement of online marketing
  • Unfair competition rules and judicial interpretation
  • Specific regulations on sustainability and ESG in fashion
  • Special import and export rules for fashion products

The full Vietnam chapter is available for free through the button below and on the Global Legal Post website. Tilleke & Gibbins also contributed the Thailand chapter to the guide.

This is especially true where two registered trademarks are different, but the product packaging designs of both marks are confusingly similar. In these circumstances, the court occasionally decides upon a mere comparison of the two marks and may determine that the similarities of their packaging designs are not likely to cause confusion among public consumers due to their dissimilarity.
