IPR activities in localities are not uniform
In many localities, especially those where market activities are still less active, IP activities are still simple, the role of state management is weak and passive, there is still a state of waiting or stepping on each other's feet relevant regulatory authorities.

The result is a battery prototype with significantly improved stability, promising new avenues for a chemical battery with exciting potential.
In 2021, the NOIP also completed on schedule major tasks, such as the project of amending and supplementing the IP Law, organizing the implementation of the national IP strategy to 2030.
In the locality, many Departments of Science and Technology have made efforts to promote the establishment and enforcement of IP rights. "Localities have also stepped up the enforcement of industrial property rights in order to repel counterfeit goods and infringing goods on industrial property rights," said Mr. Nguyen Van Bay "However, due to the influence of Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, this activity tends to decrease sharply. According to reports of localities, the whole country has more than 1,000 cases of trademark infringement that have been handled with a total fine of more than 13 billion VND, down 55% in the number of cases and 38% in the total fine.
Experts believe that the lack of resources, including human resources, is one of the main causes affecting IP activities. “Currently, the whole country has 142 officials performing state management of industrial property at the Departments of Science and Technology, of which there are 38 full-time staffs and 104 part-time staffs, down 14% compared to 2020.
This is an alarming signal about the shortage of personnel in general as well as the number of specialized officials in charge of industrial property in particular in most localities,” said Mr. Nguyen Van Bay. "This is also one of the task groups that we need to propose to promote in the near future to ensure that IP activities of localities are uniform and develop further."
