Firm overview

The Firm
Established in 1991, Pham & Associates is recognized as a premier Vietnamese intellectual property law firm with strong practice groups in both the prosecution and contentious matters. Not only has been and continues to be one of the largest filers in Vietnam, Pham & Associates is also a reputable firm on appeal/opposition proceedings before the National Office of Intellectual Property (NOIP), filing a lawsuit or negotiating to reach out-of-court settlement regarding IP disputes.

Since 2001, in addition to IP services, the firm has also advised clients on Vietnam business laws.

Staff
The firm has over 120 full-time staff including 14 attorneys at law, 34 registered patent and trademark/design attorneys and 28 consultants. Most of our patent attorneys have both a technical degree and a law degree and they work in a wide range of technical areas including chemistry, mechanics, electronics, bio-technology, pharmaceuticals, energy, material science, and telecommunications. Before joining the firm, some of our consultants used to work at NOIP as a senior patent or trademark examiners. This team is assisted, on a part-time basis, by a team of collaborators who are experts and researchers from leading universities and R&D institutions in the country, so we are confident that we can handle satisfactorily all patent applications especially those related to cutting-edge technologies.
