This chapter seeks to investigate the way in which the system of protection of geographical indications (GI) has developed in the legal, policy, and socioeconomic context of an emerging country such as Vietnam. Vietnam has over fifteen years of experience in GI protection, and GIs are considered an important tool for socio-economic development in the country. Vietnam also recently completed the negotiations of two international free trade agreements, which include specific provisions on GIs: one with the European Union, the European Union-Vietnam Free Trade Agreement, and the other one with twelve countries of the Pacific (including the United States), the Trans-Pacific Partnership Agreement (TPP). Our analysis in this chapter aims at providing useful insights on the law and practice of GIs in Vietnam, which could also be relevant with respect to other countries in the region, as several countries in South East Asia are currently considering reforms to their existing laws or are implementing new provisions in the areas of GIs.
