Accordingly, the Government has assigned the Ministry of Science and Technology to license the use of the words ‘Viet’ or ‘Vietnam’ for the certification and collective trademark registration of Vietnamese products and services abroad.

In addition, the Government has tasked the Ministry of Science and Technology to adjust and supplement the regulations on the use of the national name, and other marks for registering the geographical indication and trademarks of products and services, in the relevant legal documents prior to submitting them to the competent authority.
