The Challenges of Breaking with Tradition(11/19/2014)
Although some non-traditional marks are protectable in Vietnam, there are still concerns about their registrability and enforcement. The International Trademark Association (INTA) classifies trademarks into two categories: traditional and non-traditional. Traditional marks – also known as conventional or ordinary marks – include names, words, letters, numerals and images, and are protectable by local laws in almost all countries. Non-traditional marks – including scents, sounds and motion – have been used as trademarks in modern marketing practices since the 1950s.
