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.
