Protection of Industrial Property Rights for Trademarks and Inventions at Higher Education Institutions and College in Vietnam - in Comparative Relationship with Thanh Hoa University, China
Abstract
In the context of globalization and increasing competition in the field of education, building and protecting industrial property rights for inventions and trademarks has become an important factor to help universities improve their position and quality of training. Brands are not only a symbol representing universities, helping learners identify one training institution from another, but also a tool to build trust for students and parents. However, reality shows that the establishment of industrial property rights for trademarks and inventions at current colleges and universities still has certain limitations. Within the scope of the research work, the authors will focus on clarifying the following issues: (i) Basis for establishing industrial property rights for inventions and trademarks, (ii) Subjects establishing ownership rights for trademarks and inventions at university and college education institutions, (iii) Practice of registering industrial property rights for trademarks and inventions of university and college education institutions with Comparison with experience at Tsinghua University, China. From the above problem, the authors propose useful solutions to improve this mechanism in the future in Vietnam
