Protecting what makes your business distinctive

ADK Vietnam Lawyers advises on the protection, management and commercial use of intellectual property in Vietnam, helping clients safeguard the assets behind their brands, creative work and business know-how.
Intellectual property is closely connected to how a business develops products, builds recognition and works with others. Questions of ownership, protection and permitted use can arise at any stage, from creating a brand or commissioning content to entering a licensing arrangement or responding to unauthorised use.
We bring these considerations together in advice shaped around the client’s assets and commercial objectives. Our support covers protection strategies, intellectual property agreements and the assessment of infringement and disputes, with attention to the practical steps needed to establish, use and defend rights.

Brand & IP Protection

We help clients identify intellectual property assets, assess ownership and consider appropriate protection strategies. Our advice includes trademarks, copyright, designs and other rights relevant to the business.
We advise on registration requirements and support the preparation and coordination of applications where appropriate. We also help clients consider portfolio priorities as brands, products and business activities develop.

Copyright & Creative Content

We advise on ownership and use of creative works, including marketing materials, photography, designs, software and digital content. Our work addresses rights arising in relationships with employees, agencies, creators and other collaborators.
We review permissions, contractual terms and proposed uses to help clients understand the scope of the rights they hold or need, including when incorporating third-party content into commercial activities.

Licensing & Commercialisation

We draft and review licensing, assignment and collaboration agreements involving intellectual property. Our advice clarifies ownership, permitted use, commercial terms and responsibilities when rights are shared or transferred.
We also advise on confidentiality arrangements and contractual protection for business know-how, helping clients manage access, disclosure and use in employment, supply and commercial relationships.

Enforcement & IP Disputes

Where infringement is suspected or rights are challenged, we help clients assess their legal position, review available evidence and consider an appropriate response, including matters involving online content and marketplace activity.
Our support includes preparing communications, engaging in negotiations and advising on available enforcement and dispute resolution procedures. We consider the client’s commercial priorities alongside the scope of protection and practical prospects of each option.
