Over the past time, Vietnam has always made great efforts in protecting intellectual property, including in perfecting the regulatory system, raising people's awareness, strengthening international cooperation with the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), the United States and many other countries; resolutely combating and strictly handling intellectual property violations.
