Deputy PM Dam highlighted that the Vietnamese Government is directing ministries, sectors and localities to examine and propose amendments to intellectual property–related legal regulations, in order to promote innovation in the country.
He noted that ministries, sectors and localities have worked hard to improve the capacity and operational efficiency of agencies responsible for protecting and exercising IP rights, contributing to attracting investment in scientific and technological development, towards improving business climate and increasing competitiveness of the nation’s economy.
