Attorneys from Tilleke & Gibbins have written the Vietnam chapter for Getting the Deal Through – Licensing 2008, a comparative guide to licensing law and practice in 23 countries around the world. This is the first year the book has included a chapter on Vietnam. Tilleke & Gibbins also provided the chapter for Thailand.

Licensing 2018 provides an overview of a wide range of licensing relationships, including licensing of copyright, trademark, and patent; software licenses; technology transfer agreements; and franchise agreements. The book also addresses issues of royalties and other payments, taxes, competition law, and termination of licensing relationships.

The Vietnam chapter was authored by Linh Thi Mai Nguyen, Son Thai Hoang, and Chi Lan Dang of Tilleke & Gibbins’ trademark team, along with corporate and commercial attorney Tu Ngoc Trinh, who has extensive experience in franchising and competition law.
