The acute respiratory infection disease caused by a new strain of Corona virus (Covid-19 pandemic) continues to seriously affect all aspects of the socio-economic life of countries in the world in general and the activities of industrial property right acquisition in particular.

Time limits of all procedures related to industrial property right acquisition (requesting for priority right, supplementing documents, responding to IP Viet Nam decisions/notifications, renewal, pay any fee or charge, filing a complaint) expiring between June 30, 2021 and August 31, 2021 shall be automatically extended until the end of September 30, 2021.
In case that their proceedings for intellectual property right acquisition before IP Viet Nam are still affected by Covid-19 pandemic, the applicants have right to request the application of regulations on objective obstacles and force majeure specified at Points 9.4, 9.5 of Circular No. 01/2007/TT-BKHCN, as amended and supplemented by Circular No. 16/2016/ TT-BKHCN.
