In line with Vietnam's national policies on administrative reform and digital transformation, IP Viet Nam has launched a new initiative to prioritize online applications for industrial property procedures. Effective August 10, 2025, applications submitted through the Official Online Public Service Portal will receive expedited processing. These digital submissions will be automatically routed and integrated into the office's workflow, reducing processing times and increasing operational efficiency. Applicants who file online will also benefit from a 50% reduction in applicable fees.
While IP Viet Nam will continue to accept paper applications submitted in person or by mail in accordance with existing regulations, these applications will not receive priority handling. Manual processing steps—including verification, data entry, and digitization—mean that non‑digital submissions will likely experience longer processing times. The office also announced that it is developing a plan to eventually transition to online‑only application acceptance.
