Full Trademark Registration Service in Vietnam

The cost to register a trademark in Vietnam is US$ 400 for the first class, plus US$ 400 for each additional class.

The description of goods/services includes up to 6 items per class; beyond that, additional charges will apply.

In Vietnam, a final registration fee of US$ 380 applies for the first class and US$ 310 for each additional class. This payment will only be due in case of successful registration.

This includes both the official NOIP filing fees and iGERENT’s professional service fees.

By choosing iGERENT, you get:

• A dedicated consultant
• Complete drafting, filing, and case monitoring
• Correct class selection and specification of goods/services
• Clear pricing without hidden fees

Your trademark registration in Vietnam becomes predictable, efficient, and fully managed.

Most applications begin with minimal documentation, but you must provide a scanned copy of a signed Power of Attorney (PoA) so our Vietnam trademark agent can act on your behalf before the NOIP throughout the process.

Depending on your case, NOIP may request:

• Identification of the applicant
• Logo files or packaging samples
• Product labels or photos
• Proof of use (rare, only in specific situations)

If additional documents are required, your iGERENT consultant will explain what is needed and when, ensuring the process stays simple and stress-free.

Timelines vary, but a typical Vietnam trademark registration takes approximately 18 months for straightforward cases. This estimate can change depending on examination delays, objections issued by the office, or third-party oppositions.

The process includes several stages:

• An initial formality check of the application
• Publication in the Official Gazette of Intellectual Property
• A substantive examination, which NOIP aims to complete within 9 months

If no objections or oppositions arise during these steps, the trademark proceeds to registration.

Throughout the entire process, your dedicated consultant will keep you informed at every stage, ensuring you never miss a deadline, notice, or request from the office.

Once your trademark is approved, it proceeds to registration and you receive your official certificate. In Vietnam, a registered trademark is valid for ten (10) years from the filing date and can be renewed indefinitely for further periods of ten (10) years.

You may request renewal:

• From six (6) months before the expiration date, and
• Up to six (6) months after expiration, in which case late renewal fees will apply.

After registration, the trademark must not remain unused for five consecutive years, or it may become vulnerable to cancellation actions for non-use. The level of use required is not high, but you must be able to show genuine use if your rights are challenged.

As with all countries, timely renewal is essential to keep your protection in force. To simplify the process and avoid missing deadlines, you can use our Trademark Renewal Service in Vietnam.

Yes. Vietnam allows trademark oppositions. Once a mark is published in the Official Gazette of Intellectual Property, third parties may file opposition actions if they believe the application conflicts with their existing rights.

In practice, if someone tries to register a trademark that is identical or confusingly similar to yours for related goods or services, you may oppose it on grounds such as:

• Similarity to an existing registered mark
• Prior use or earlier rights
• Likelihood of confusion among consumers

Third parties generally have 5 months from the publication date to file an opposition. The chances of success will always depend on the specific facts of each case, including the similarity between the marks, the overlap in goods/services, the evidence submitted, and the reputation of the earlier mark.

If you believe a Vietnam trademark application affects your rights, we can review your situation and guide you through the full opposition procedure in Vietnam.

Use is not required to file or obtain trademark registration in Vietnam.

However, after registration:

• The trademark must not remain unused for five (5) consecutive years.
• If the mark is not used during this period, third parties may file cancellation actions for non-use.
• The level of use required is minimal, but there must be at least some genuine commercial use to defend the registration if it is challenged.

If evidence of use is ever requested by the office or raised in a non-use cancellation action, iGERENT will guide you through everything needed to prove use and help you maintain your rights in Vietnam.
