Intellectual property must become the soft infrastructure of the digital economy. To unlock innovation, it is essential to shift from a case-by-case handling approach to ecosystem governance: digitising enforcement, strengthening meaningful sanctions, and ensuring that all actors, including digital platforms, are held accountable.

Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh has signed a decree to strengthen the enforcement of intellectual property (IP) rights, strict action against infringements under the principle of clear roles, tasks, timelines, responsibility, deliverables, and authority.

Director General of the World Intellectual Property Organisation (WIPO) Daren Tang met with Vietnamese youth for a dialogue at the Posts and Telecommunications Institute of Technology in Ha Noi on September 26 to chart a path for building an innovation-friendly intellectual property (IP) ecosystem.

The MoU, which sets out a comprehensive framework for IP cooperation, covers a wide range of areas from policy and legislative development to raising awareness, training human resources, supporting enterprises, and strengthening the capacity of Viet Nam’s IP authority.

Intellectual property (IP) has become a vital catalyst for science - technology and innovation, poised to drive Viet Nam’s transformation into a high-income nation with a modern industrial base by 2045, under the Politburo’s Resolution No.57-NQ/TW dated December 22, 2024.
