The Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP) establishes a common set of rules on intellectual property related matters in a comprehensive chapter. As the only socialist country among the signatories, Vietnam has promptly promoted intellectual property legislation after CPTPP entered into force. Vietnam underwent two comprehensive amendments in 2019 and 2020, addressing patents, trademarks, copyrights, new plant varieties, data protection of agricultural chemicals, law enforcement and other fields of intellectual property laws. From the perspective of institution building behind the two rounds of amendments, Vietnam pays great attention to balancing the legal amendments. Regarding the content of the amendments, Vietnam underlines a balance of CPTPP treaty obligations and its national interests. Concerning the deployment of amendments, Vietnam focuses on collaboration between central and local governments to promote legislation. As for the law amendment strategy, Vietnam takes notice of the balance between“transitional issues”and“urgent matters”. Vietnam’s progress and underlying logic on intellectual property law amendments have a certain reference value for China’s subsequent work on joining CPTPP. |
