How Does Dispute Settlement Mechanism of WTO Work?

How Does Dispute Settlement Mechanism of WTO Work?

The dispute settlement mechanism of the World Trade Organization (WTO) is a succession of the dispute settlement rules that has been effective for nearly 50 years in the history of GATT 1947. The basic objective of this dispute resolution mechanism is to achieve a positive solution to the dispute. Vietnam is member of WTO therefore it could refer to dispute settlement mechanism of WTO in dispute against other country member.

 


When a dispute arises at the WTO, the parties will first conduct consultations to come up with a mutually agreed solution to resolve the case (Consultation – the stage of mediation), as  usual in each case there is the participation of third parties (who are members of significant interest and desire to participate in the dispute resolution process), if they feel a significant interest in the case and should be considered by the panel. In the case of an unsuccessful inquiry, a panel of 3 to 5 members will be established and tasked with examining a particular issue in dispute on the basis of WTO rules cited by the claimant’s country.

After the establishment of a panel to review the complaint, the first thing that the panel needs to do is to set a timetable for its proceedings (Article 12.3 of the DSU). The panel procedure usually covers the contents set forth in Article 12 and Annex 3 of the DSU, including certain flexibility to ensure the quality of the report without delaying the proceedings. Setting a timetable helps the parties understand the contents and deadlines for each dispute, helping them be more proactive in presenting evidence, bases and arguments in their submitted documents.

After the hearings take place, the panel will enter the internal discussion phase (deliberation), to review the assessment of relevant legal, practical issues in accordance with the provisions of the WTO, the deliberation must be kept secret. These reports were drafted without the presence of the parties to the dispute, but only according to the content of the information provided and the comments made earlier. Individual opinions of jurors presented in a panel report shall not include the names of speakers of such opinions.

After the final report will be sent to the parties to the dispute within 2 weeks after the panel has concluded the mid-term review. Normally, every report of the panel has very large content, to facilitate the study of review by the appellate body and to quote case law, the report must show the table of contents and paragraphs which are separate numbered in the order of the report. If there is no appeal, the dispute resolution process will immediately go to the implementation stage after the DSB adopts a panel report. If there is an appeal, the case will be reviewed at the Appellate level.

It is important for Vietnam as member of WTO to be aware of the dispute settlement mechanism and fully prepared when having dispute against other country members in international trade dispute matters.

Why Investor Needs to Protect Trademark in Vietnam?


Trademark protection in Vietnam is initially obtained through trademark registration. Trademark opposition could be filed to prevent a pending application for a mark from being granted application. Litigation is the final measure to handle dispute during trademark protection in Vietnam.

 


Trademark is a sign that help distinguish the goods or services of one enterprise from those of others. Together with industrial design and patent, trademark of goods and services plays an extremely important role for the growth of the enterprise. Trademark establishes a link between enterprise and customer. A strong trademark will attract customers to use goods or services. When trademark is popular and economic benefits achieved through sale of goods or provision of services coupled with trademark is large, the violation of trademark is inevitable.

The annual reports of the Vietnam National Office of Intellectual Property (NOIP) prove that trademark violation in Vietnam is the most popular, among other industrial property rights. According to the preliminary annual report in 2011, and 2012, there has been more than 1,000 cases of trademark violations each year.  Report of 2013 and after shows more than 2,000 trademark infringements were handled with the total fines of trademark violators of around USD 1 million per year. Having said that, it is important for trademark owner to register trademarks in Vietnam for better protection. This is also suggested for even well-known trademarks.

For registration, trademark owner has two options: either directly register trademark in Vietnam by filling an application for registration with the Vietnam NOIP, or seek the trademark protection in Vietnam through Madrid’s system. For the first option, the trademark owner needs to prepare, file for registration, and pay fee as the requirement of Vietnam Intellectual Property law. In case trademark needs to be protected in a number of nations, including Vietnam, trademark owner may register trademark through Madrid’s system.

Where the violation of trademark occurs, trademark owner needs to judge the level of infringement, level of damage to choose suitable resolutions. Initially, the trademark owner may protect by requiring to the trademark violator to terminate the infringing acts, apologize, and rectify. In case of being damaged, trademark owners have rights to claim compensation. If failing to reach result, trademark owner may use settlement mechanism through negotiation or mediation or could request the competent state agencies to handle acts of infringement through i.e. filling a denunciation application and submitting to the Vietnam NOIP. Litigation might be required to handle acts of infringement. Generally, the proceeding of civil litigation is more complex than the arbitration proceeding. In cases the trademark owner needs a decision from court in order to end trademark infringement, civil litigation is top priority. In the remaining cases, arbitration is a better choice with advantages of cheaper cost, shorter settling time, and more flexible.

How Probation is Regulated in Vietnam Labour Code?


Probation is an agreement between an employee and an employer on a probationary job in a certain period of time in accordance with the provisions of law. Before entering into a labor contract, the employer and the employee should go through a probationary period to determine the long-term cooperation and attachment between the parties. The probation should comply with the provisions of the Labor Code and relevant guiding documents. The Labor Code 2019 comes into force as of January 1st, 2020, a number of new regulations accordingly are issued in connection to the probation, which each company should review the matter with its labour lawyers in Vietnam for compliance.

 


Regarding the circumstances which are permitted to enter into a probationary contract, this contract is not applicable to the labor term which is below 01 month.  The Labor Code 2012 does not require that the probationary provision must be stipulated in the labor contract. Accordingly, an employer and an employee may negotiate on the probation, the rights and responsibilities of the parties during the probation period. The parties may conclude a probation contract if there is an agreement on the probation. If the probation work meets the requirements, the employer shall conclude an employment contract with the employee. From these provisions, it can be understood that the employee and the employer should make a separate probationary contract. The labor contract should be signed when the probation is completed and the employee meets the recruitment requirements of the employer. According to the latest provisions in the Labor Code 2019, the employer and the employee may agree on the probation stated in the labor contract or a separate probationary contract. If the probationary provision is stipulated in the labor contract, the employer shall continue performing the existing labor contract at the end of the probationary period once the employee satisfies the requirements. Otherwise, a new labor contract shall be entered into.

The Labor Code determined the restriction of the probation period based on the nature and complexity of the job. The probationary period previously was limited to no more than 60 days for jobs requiring a college or higher professional qualification. Currently, the probationary period is permitted to extend up to 180 days for the executives. The executives play an important role in business and operation of the enterprises, including owner of a sole proprietorship, a partner of a partnership company, chairperson or member of the Board of Member, President of a company, President or member of the Board of Directors, Director/General Director, or holder of another managerial position prescribed in the company’s charter (applicable to the enterprise with no state capital)

Another amendment to the cancellation of the probationary contract, the Labor Code 2019 removed the limitation of the right to cancel. Accordingly, during the probationary period, each party has the right to cancel the probationary contract or labor contract entered into without prior notice and compensation. On the contrary, the employee and the employer may cancel the probation if the probationary job does not meet the requirements that the parties have agreed upon under the Labor Code 2012

Probationary periods are primarily designed to test out whether both employer and employee to match each other at the start of an employment relationship. The enterprises as employers need to have a clear understanding of the principles of entering into a labor contract as well as a probationary contract to avoid potential dispute in Vietnam.

Singaporean Investors Increase Capital in Finance and Technology


In addition to the real estate sector, Vietnam has recently been considered a key market for many financial and technology enterprises from Singapore.

 


Investment capital flows of Singaporean businesses are flowing strongly into southern provinces to welcome opportunities when Vietnam joins many free trade agreements (FTAs).

According to a report by Ho Chi Minh City Statistics Office, in the first 9 months of 2020, out of 111 countries and territories having investment projects in the City, businesses from Singapore contributed 813.5 million USD, accounting for 25 % of total foreign direct investment (FDI) in Ho Chi Minh City.

Broadly, according to recent statistics, out of 106 countries and territories having investment projects in Ho Chi Minh City, Singapore is ranked first with 1,100 projects with a total investment of 10.73 billion USD. Up to now, there have been many investors, large corporations of Singapore such as Keppel Land, Capital Land… having large-scale projects in Ho Chi Minh City.

In Binh Duong, from the beginning of the year up to now, Singapore businesses have invested the third largest investment capital among countries and territories investing in this locality, with a total registered capital of 198 million USD, accounting for 16% of the total investment capital.

According to the Singapore Consulate General in Ho Chi Minh City, up to now, this country has invested in Dong Nai more than 70 projects with a total registered capital of about 3.6 billion USD, ranking 4th among countries and territories investing in this province. Singapore businesses invest in Dong Nai quite successfully, so many businesses are researching and planning to continue to invest.

A month ago, when receiving the project investment certificate of SG Logistics Joint Stock Company with an investment of more than 80 million USD in Tan Phu Trung Industrial Park, the CEO of BW Group said that this was the third project of this business in Ho Chi Minh City to prepare for investment waves.

 

In fact, businesses from Singapore operating in the field of industrial real estate soon had projects in Binh Duong, Ho Chi Minh City, Dong Nai… and had outstanding successes.

According to experts, with the impact of FTAs ​​and the movement of capital into Vietnam, industrial real estate and logistics are the fastest growing segments recently. In particular, investors from Singapore, having an early presence in Vietnam, actively preparing many large land banks in the strongly developed industrial areas, are considered to have many advantages.

In addition to the real estate sector, Vietnam has recently been considered a key market for many financial and technology enterprises from Singapore to set up company and enter the market. According to Chairman of Bankograph Pte Limited, a Singapore’s fintech company, Vietnam stands out as a leading destination for foreign investors, not only in the financial sector, but also in many other sectors.

The wave of Singapore’s technology enterprises participating in investment and cooperation in Vietnam has been more strongly developed in the past two years. For example, Finaxar cooperates with Indovina Bank Vietnam to provide suitable financial support solutions for small and medium enterprises…

With the above handshakes, Vietnamese companies and financial institutions will benefit in cooperation with Singapore’s fintech company. At the same time, cooperation between businesses of the two countries is expected to create an ecosystem in the fields of finance and technology.

Subject Matters of Intellectual Property Rights


Intellectual property subject matter is divided into three groups included: subject matter of copyright, subject matter of industrial property rights, subject matter of rights to plant varieties. In details:


Protect Intellectual Property Rights in Vietnam

-The subject matter of copyright shall comprise literary, artistic and scientific works; the subject matter of copyright related rights shall comprise performances, audio and visual fixation, broadcasts and satellite signals carrying coded programmes.

-The subject matter of industrial property rights shall comprise inventions, industrial designs, designs of semi-conducting closed circuits, trade secrets, marks, trade names and geographical indications.

-The subject matter of rights to plant varieties shall comprise plant varieties and harvested materials.

Pursuant to Intellectual Property right 2005 (amended in 2009), Intellectual property rights means rights of an organization or individual to intellectual assets comprising copyright and copyright related rights, industrial property rights and rights to plant varieties. For example, software computer program can be protected under Copyright, or name of a product can be protected under Industrial property right that is Trademark or the outward appearance of a car can be protected as Industrial design.

However, intellectual property rights are generated and established based on certain grounds:

Firstly, copyright shall arise at the moment a work is created and fixed in a certain material form, irrespective of its content, quality, form, mode and language and irrespective of whether or not such work has been published or registered. For instance, a musician is about to write a song, however, the idea of the song still bears in mind of the musician and have not written down yet. At that time, copyright of the musician still does not generate.

Secondly, related rights shall arise at the moment a performance, audio and visual fixation, broadcast or satellite signal carrying coded programmes is fixed or displayed without causing loss or damage to copyright. Related right is the right related to copyright. Proceeding to above example, when the musician has finished writing his song and is sung by the singer on stage, the right of the singer to sing the song of the musician is related right.

Thirdly, different grounds for the generation and establishment of industrial property right. As said above, industrial property rights include 7 subject matters: inventions, industrial designs, designs of semi-conducting closed circuits, trade secrets, marks, trade names and geographical indications. These subjects have different grounds for generating and establishing right:

-Industrial property rights to an invention, industrial design, layout design, mark or geographical indication shall be established on the basis of a decision of the competent State body to grant a protection title in accordance with the registration procedures;

-Industrial property rights to a trade name shall be established on the basis of lawful use thereof;

-Industrial property rights to a trade secret shall be established on the basis of lawful acquirement of the trade secret and maintaining confidentiality thereof.

Fourthly, rights to a plant variety shall be established on the basis of a decision of the competent State body to grant a plant variety protection title in accordance with the registration procedures
