Authorization to Á Đông IP in Vietnam

In order to secure its industrial property rights in Vietnam, Shin-Etsu Chemical Co., Ltd officially authorized Á Đông IP to act as its representative for filing and handling all industrial design registration procedures. This authorization demonstrates Shin-Etsu’s trust in Á Đông IP’s legal expertise and professional capacity in the field of intellectual property in Vietnam.

Filing of Applications

On behalf of Shin-Etsu, Á Đông IP filed a series of industrial design applications before the Intellectual Property Office of Vietnam (IPVN) for semiconductor microstructure products. These designs are highly technical and play a crucial role in optimizing efficiency and improving performance in the semiconductor industry.

Acceptance of Valid Applications

Following the initial examination, all applications filed by Shin-Etsu were accepted as valid, ensuring their eligibility to proceed to substantive examination.

Substantive Examination and Combination of Applications

During substantive examination, the IPVN concluded that the designs of Shin-Etsu fully met the protection requirements under the Intellectual Property Law of Vietnam, namely: novelty, creativity, and industrial applicability.
However, since several designs were found to have no significant differences, the Office required combination of certain applications in accordance with the regulations.

Grant of Industrial Design Patents

Ultimately, multiple Certificates of Industrial Design Patent (Bằng độc quyền kiểu dáng công nghiệp) were granted to Shin-Etsu Chemical Co., Ltd, officially recognizing its lawful ownership of the semiconductor microstructure designs in Vietnam.

Legal and Commercial Significance
