All the assignment or license contracts must be made in writing. The validity of a license contract for use of a patented industrial design shall be terminated ex-officio upon the termination of the licensor’s right.

Vietnam follows the first-to-file system. Vietnam design law determines priority based on the date of the first application and shall confer the rights on the party who is the first to file a design application. That is to say, where two or more parties apply for a patent for the same industrial design, the first party to file will be granted the patent regardless of the date of actual creation. Therefore it is advisable to file a patent application for the design as soon as possible after the design is created.
