Reporter: Could you please tell us about the province's interest in intellectual
property development programme?
Nguyen Van Dung:
The provincial People's Committee has recently issued Decision
No. 1132 / QD-UBND dated May 9, 1818 approving the intellectual property
development programme.
The programme is applicable to local individuals
and organisations (excluding wholly foreign invested enterprises) which
received patent, industrial design and brand protection licences from the
National Office of Industrial Property. Others include State management
agencies, enterprises, organisations and individuals involving in intellectual
property ownership in the locality. The 2018-2020 programme will prioritise
intellectual property development to traditional and specialty products and
services. During the period, the province will support registration,
exploitation and application of patents and useful solutions of individuals and
organisations. It will also accelerate registration for certified and collective
brands and geographical indications for local signature products, especially
those for export to form strong brands, contributing to socio-economic
development and raising local income.
Reporter: Could you elaborate the province’s goals and the roles of
departments and agencies in developing trademarks and intellectual properties?
Nguyen Van Dung:
Under the 2018-2020 programme on local
intellectual property development, 35 products will be supported to get
certified and collective brands and geographical indications while 30 others
will be assisted to gain brands. It aims to have at least 80 percent of goods
and services receiving support in intellectual property protection
registration, with a priority given to patents; certified and collective brands
and geographical indications for local specialties.
The province will strive to have additional 30
brands; 15 collective and certified brands and geographical indications by late
2020. Support will be given to at least two inventions or helpful solutions.
In order to develop brands and intellectual
properties, close coordination among departments, agencies and localities is also
needed.
Reporter: Thank you very much!
