Why do businesses register for logo protection?

Registering logo protection is a strategic step to help businesses protect intellectual property and build competitive advantage in the market. This brings many practical benefits to businesses in the process of brand development.

• Protect intellectual property rights: Registering logo protection helps businesses establish legal ownership of their brand symbols. According to the Law on Intellectual Property 2005, amended and supplemented in 2009 and 2022, logos are recognized as works of applied art and protected in the form of copyright. This creates a solid legal basis for businesses to prevent acts of infringement and illegal copying of logos.
• Prevent unfair competition: When a logo is registered for protection, businesses have the right to prohibit competitors from using similar logos that cause confusion for consumers. This helps protect brand reputation and minimize the risk of customers being stolen due to confusion about the origin of products and services.
• Creating intangible asset value: A protected logo becomes a valuable intangible asset of the business. This value can be valued, transferred or used as collateral in business transactions. According to the provisions of Decree No. 17/2023/ND-CP, the copyright protection period for logos is 75 years from publication, creating conditions for long-term exploitation of brand value.
• Enhance brand reputation: Owning a protected logo helps enhance the reputation and brand value of a business in the market. Customers and partners will appreciate the professionalism and respect for intellectual property rights of the business, thereby creating a sustainable competitive advantage.
