Vietnam National Phase of PCT application PDF Print E-mail

The time limit for entry into Vietnam national phase of a PCT application under both PCT Chapter I and PCT Chapter II is 31 months computed from the priority date. A late entry within six months after the 31 month period expires is available provided that the applicant shall pay a late entry fee.

For entering Vietnam national phase, a copy of the PCT international application is not required, but the applicant needs to submit the Vietnamese translation thereof to the Vietnam Patent Office (NOIP) at the filing. Also, a Vietnamese translation of the International Preliminary Examination Report (so-called International Preliminary Report on Patentability) is necessary to be submitted to the NOIP at the time of the request for substantive examination. Although no copy of priority application is needed, the applicant must furnish the NOIP with an original Power of Attorney within 34 months from the priority date. Neither notarization nor legalization is necessary for the Power of Attorney.
