color: #f58634;\"><strong><em> Your trademark application was refused protection<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\">Under current trademark regulations of Vietnam, your trademark application may be refused protection for the following typical reasons:<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\"><em>Your trademark is identical or confusingly similar to another one&#8217;s previously registered trademark(s)<\/em><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\">As of August 17, 2023, there have been <strong>458,628 <\/strong>National Trademark Registration Certificates issued by the Vietnam Intellectual Property Office (VNIPO). In 2022 alone, 56,050 trademark applications were filed with the VNIPO. With this huge number of trademark registrations, the chances of your trademark being identical or confusingly similar to someone else&#8217;s trademark are not low.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\"><em>Your mark includes exclusions, is not protected as a trademark, or fails to function as a trademark because they are indistinctive signs<\/em> <em>(inability to distinguish itself)<\/em>.<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\">This is one of the most common reasons for the refusal of a trademark application because in addition to cause (a) above, unfortunately, there are more than 20 other rejection reasons where your trademark could fall into, for example:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\">Signs identical with or confusingly similar to the images of National Flags, National Emblems, National Anthems of Vietnam and other countries;<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\">Simple shapes and geometric figures, numbers, letters or scripts in uncommon languages;<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\">A sign indicating the time, place, production method, type, quantity, quality, properties, ingredients, intended utility, value, or other characteristics that are descriptive of goods or services or signs that significantly add value to the goods;<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\">A sign indicating the geographical origin of goods or services, unless such sign has been widely used and recognized as a mark before the filing date; &#8230;<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #f58634;\"><strong><em> Trademark registration takes a long time<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\">In fact, the time for trademark registration may be longer than regulations (currently (Jul.2023), total registration time is about 18-24 months from the filing date) due to the overload of applications at the VNIPO.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #f58634;\"><strong><em> Expensive costs due to the refusal of the trademark application (did not obtain a trademark registration)<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\">When your trademark application is refused protection, you will have to re-design your trademark and restart proceeding with the registration procedure. Of course, this will incur additional registration costs and you will also have to wait another 18-24 months to get a certificate of trademark registration if your trademark meets the requirements for protection.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\"><em>We always understand and feel these difficulties and will support and accompany you to overcome these obstacles based on our expertise and more than 20 years of experience in this field.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What-are-the-best-solutions-or-secrets-to-successful-trademark-registration-in-Vietnam\"><\/span><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #891d1f;\"><strong>What are the best solutions or secrets to successful trademark registration in Vietnam?<\/strong><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\"><strong>ELITE:<\/strong> From our experience, we would like to share some useful and simple secrets to help you register your trademark successfully, and quickly while saving cost, and time as below:<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\">Design your brand to be unique, not in the cases that are not protected as trademarks;<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\">In-depth search with experts to check for similar and identical trademarks before filing a registration application.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\">Choose an IP Representative Agent (IP Law Firm) who is reputable and experienced in authorizing the filing of applications and monitoring the status of your trademark application.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What-should-you-do-when-your-trademark-application-is-refused-protection\"><\/span><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #891d1f;\"><strong>What should you do when your trademark application is refused protection?<\/strong><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\"><strong>ELITE: <\/strong>No, you still have a chance. We believe that your trademark still has a chance to be protected when your application is rejected by the VNIPO for the following reasons:<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #f58634;\"><em>The VNIPO may not 100% accurate<\/em><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\">When your trademark application is refused protection, it is not entirely hopeless because it is not certain that the decisions and assessments of the VNIPO&#8217;s experts are 100% accurate. Therefore, when the VNIPO makes a decision to refuse protection of the trademark, you still have the opportunity to continue the registration procedure by filing an appeal or objection to the refusal decision if you find that there are legal grounds to believe that VNIPO&#8217;s decision does not have\/not enough legal basis.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #f58634;\"><em>The cited trademark registration(s) may have expired protection<\/em><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\">The cited trademark registration(s) are trademarks used by the VNIPO as a basis to refuse to grant protection Certificates to your trademark application(s) in the process of trademark examination. In practice, there is still the possibility that the cited trademarks have expired but are still used by the VNIPO to refuse to protect your trademark applications.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"font-size: 20px;
