Dryer Products Trademarks Registration in Vietnam

In life, to serve the needs of daily life or to serve production, people use drying products. The use of dryer products can be used to dry hair, clothes, grains, food, or other machinery. For business entities, it is possible to register for trademark protection to increase the prestige and reputation of products.

A trademark registration application includes:

• A trademark sample with dimensions bigger than 3 x 3 cm and smaller than 8 x 8 cm;
• A list of goods/services intended to register; 

Note: Law requires that goods and services need to be classified according to the Nice Classification. Accordingly, dryer products are under class 11.

• A trademark registration declaration (if customers authorize Viet An Law to submit, this declaration will be signed by the representative of Viet An Law);
• A power of attorney;
• Receipts of fee payments.

Note: The trademark registration fee will be calculated based on the number of groups and products in each group classified in the application.

Before applying, customers can perform a trademark search to assess the possibility of registration. This is an optional procedure but should be implemented to soon have appropriate amendment options, to avoid the NOIP’s refusal to grant a protection title.
