The Solution for Overcoming Conflicts in the Protection of Applied art works and Industrial designs

Abstract

The issue of conflict of intellectual property rights in Vietnam is increasingly common and complicated, especially the conflict between copyright to applied art works and industrial property rights to industrial designs. There have been many studies ahead of research on this issue, but there is a lack of foreign law surveys. This article approaches the problem through a foreign law survey to propose a solution to the conflict between applied art works and industrial designs for Vietnam. Research tasks include: identifying the nature and causes of conflicts, conflict resolution mechanisms in Vietnam's current intellectual property law; points out shortcomings in current Vietnam's intellectual property law; compare with foreign laws and practices to draw lessons applicable to Vietnam.
