Vietnam: The amended IP law
Three years after its enforcement and two years after Vietnam’s accession to the World Trade Organization (WTO), this IP law was amended in 2009. Twenty-two of the 222 articles of the law were corrected, or supplemented with clearer definitions, or rewritten to make their contents more comprehensive and compatible with the Agreement on Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPs).
