Counterfeit destroys businesses, business environments,
markets as well as the image of the country. Handling trademark infringement in Vietnam has been
practically challenging.
Vietnam
government has been trying to curb the counterfeits however the results are
limited. The counterfeit business generates huge profits due to the gap
price anywhere in the world. Almost goods which is either popular or
luxury, high or low-value of either domestic or foreign brands are being
counterfeited, imitated in Vietnam. Falsification of household goods,
food, cosmetics, shoes and items of higher value such as bags, watches,
glasses, etc may be found all over Vietnam. For effective anti-counterfeit, we
need a close cooperation among the authority agencies in inspection, control of
production, import and circulation in the market. The Southern Department
of Goods Quality Control in Vietnam in one of its regular inspections when
cooperating with competent agencies in Ho Chi Minh City found after checking 79
stores with 416 items including: oil, helmets, toys, electronic devices that
33.89% of goods of unsatisfactorily labeled, 14.5% unsatisfactory quality.
Where the consumers buy counterfeit goods, they could and should report to
State authorities, Anti-Counterfeit and Brand Protection Association as an
effort to contribute to curbing counterfeit in Vietnam. The international
brands being infringed could request assistance from local law firms in
Vietnam.
