The legal basis of Vietnam trademark is the Intellectual Property Law 36/2009/QH12. Vietnam is a member of the Paris Convention, the Madrid Agreement and the Madrid Protocol. All trademarks registered in South Vietnam before 30th April 1975 are not protected in present Vietnam. Vietnam adopts first-to-file basis for trademark protection. A trademark registration is valid for 10 years from the date of application and could be renewed for 10 years before the expiry date.

Example 1: One mark one class
If you want to have your trademark "ABC" registered in Class 25 (clothing, footwear, headgear), that is, one mark one class, the total fees for trademark pre-filing search, registration request and certificate are:

Pre-filing search: USD200
Request for registration: USD350
Final registration/Certificate: USD300
TOTAL: USD850

Example 2: One mark two classes
If you want to have your trademark "ABC" registered in Class 25 (clothing, footwear, headgear) and Class 26 (lace and embroidery, ribbons and braid; buttons, hooks and eyes, pins and needles; artificial flowers), that is, one mark two classes, the total fees for trademark pre-filing search, registration request and certificate are:

Pre-filing search: 200 + 200 = USD400
Request for registration: 350 + 270 = USD620
Final registration/Certificate: 300 + 50 = USD350
TOTAL: USD1,370

Example 3: Two marks one class
If you want to have your trademarks "ABC" and "DEF" registered in Class 25 (clothing, footwear, headgear), that is, two marks one class, the total fees for trademark pre-filing searches, registration requests and certificates are:

Pre-filing searches: 200 + 200 = USD400
Request for registrations: 350 + 350 = USD700
Final registrations/Certificates: 300 + 300 = USD600
TOTAL: USD1,700

The costs illustrated in the examples above are based on the assumption of a smooth application, that is, no objection being raised by the NOIP or any other third party. Also, the costs stated above exclude courier charges for sending the Power of Attorney and delivery of Certificate of Registration upon acceptance of registration.

It is further assumed that the number of items of products included in each class is no more than 6. Each additional item after the first 6 is charged at a fee of USD25.

Our fees for each stage of an application are to be invoiced and settled before the commencement of each stage of service. If a China or Taiwan Value-Added Tax invoice is required, 7% or 5% additional charge will be incurred.

We currently accept cheque, cash, TT and credit card through Paypal (5% additional charge will incur for paypal). Please click here for payment methods.

No refund of fees will be made after the commencement of services. For example, if we have conducted a pre-filing search and found an identical mark is already in the register, the application will not be proceeded, the fees for pre-filing search will not be refunded. If we have already filed an application and the application is objected by the NOIP or any other party or refused, there will not be any refunded of fees.

In case you have paid our fees for all three stages of an application and the search result indicates that an identical mark is already in the register, the application will not be proceeded. The fees for services not performed, i.e., filing for application and issuing of certificate of registration will be refunded, after deducting bank wiring charge.
