On March 26, 2026, the Hanoi Department of Science and Technology issued Decision No. 447/QĐ-SKHCN officially recognizing Siglaw Law Firm LLC (Siglaw) as an Industrial Property Representative Organization. This is not merely an administrative procedure, but a significant milestone affirming Siglaw’s legal capacity in protecting the lawful rights and interests of investors in Vietnam.
Professional Competence Certified by State Authorities
This recognition is granted based on the strictest legal standards under the Intellectual Property Law and the latest regulations on administrative decentralization under Decree No. 133/2025/NĐ-CP.
Full Legal Status
Siglaw is officially authorized to represent organizations and individuals before the Intellectual Property Office of Vietnam and competent state authorities in procedures related to the establishment and protection of industrial property rights.
Highly Qualified Expert Team
With the presence of certified industrial property representatives and highly experienced lawyers, Siglaw ensures that every client dossier is handled by professionals holding state-issued practicing certificates.
Broad Scope of Protection
Siglaw is fully authorized to provide representative services for key industrial property objects, including Trademarks, Geographical Indications, Trade Names, Protection Against Unfair Competition and Trade Secrets.
The Importance of Siglaw Becoming an Industrial Property Representative Organization in the Current Economic Context
In the highly competitive market economy of 2026, industrial property representative services play the role of a “backbone” for sustainable business development for the following reasons:
Protecting Intangible Assets in the Digital Era
Today, intellectual property (IP) often accounts for greater value than tangible assets for technology and service companies. Siglaw’s official recognition helps businesses optimize filing procedures and reduce processing time through its official representative status.
At the same time, in an increasingly open market, the risks of trademark infringement and trade secret theft continue to rise, leading to numerous disputes. Siglaw now serves as a legal shield, helping businesses eliminate unfair competition while maximizing and safeguarding their legal rights in the most effective and secure manner.
Enhancing Enterprise Value for FDI Investors
Foreign investors entering Vietnam often prioritize law firms that are officially recognized as industrial property representatives. This reflects the practical experience and strategic choices of major international corporations.
A successfully protected trademark is not merely a logo; it is a valuable asset that can be valued, transferred, contributed as capital, or utilized in future market strategies. With Siglaw officially listed in the national registry, investors can place greater trust in the confidentiality and professionalism applied in handling trade secrets — a critical factor for multinational corporations in today’s business environment.
Meeting the Strict Standards of Free Trade Agreements
Vietnam’s deep participation in next-generation free trade agreements such as the EVFTA and CPTPP has imposed increasingly stringent intellectual property protection standards, transforming them from ordinary recommendations into mandatory legal requirements in international trade.
In this context, Siglaw — as an Industrial Property Representative Organization under code HNi-011 — serves as a strategic “key” helping domestic and international enterprises fully comply with these standards.
By reviewing and systematizing intellectual property assets in accordance with the 2022 Intellectual Property Law and the latest implementing regulations for 2025–2026, Siglaw assists businesses in effectively managing legal risks, avoiding costly litigation, and preventing export suspension risks in demanding markets due to copyright or IP violations.
Siglaw’s professionalism is further demonstrated through its ability to establish a solid legal foundation for export activities and global cooperation. By securing ownership rights for trademarks, trade names, and trade secrets, Siglaw not only protects assets within Vietnam but also advises clients on international protection strategies, ensuring legal recognition of business brands across FTA member countries.
The practical result is the optimization of intangible asset value, increased transparency in technology transfer transactions, and stronger confidence from international partners in investment and joint venture transactions.
Accordingly, Siglaw’s representative services are not merely administrative procedures, but comprehensive legal solutions that transform intellectual property into a genuine competitive advantage, enabling businesses to confidently pursue international integration and expansion.
With this new position, Siglaw is committed to delivering comprehensive, specialized, and secure intellectual property protection solutions for its clients. We help clients identify and assess legal risks while supporting them in making informed investment decisions.
We do not merely assist clients in completing registration procedures; we also provide strategic advisory services to help maximize the commercial value of intellectual property assets and transform them into outstanding competitive advantages.
