In order to handle trademark infringement in Vietnam, the owner can apply the measures as prescribed by law

Intellectual property law in Vietnam provides two main methods for rights holders to protect their trademarks: initiating civil lawsuits and requesting administrative sanctions. 

Administrative sanction measures are effective responses in protecting intellectual property rights. These measures not only help prevent infringement actions but also create a clear legal environment that safeguards the legitimate rights of organizations and individuals.
