CONCLUSION
The world is changing vigorously according to the trend of non-stopable and strong
development of knowledge-based economy. Beside natural resources, intellectual
property rights in general and intellectual property rights with foreign elements in
particular have become property of great value, a element creating prosperity of each
country in the international community. Currently, in the context that Vietnam is a
member of WTO and is strengthening the international integration, intellectual property is
more significant than ever for the development of Vietnam. Therefore, it is required that
Vietnam has to promote the enforcement of intellectual property rights, especially
intellectual property rights with foreign elements in order not only to combat violation of
law and crime of infringement of interests that are protected by law, but also to create an
impetus for foreign individuals and organizations to increase commercial and investment
ties with Vietnam in a healthy environment of intellectual property.
With the key role in protecting national security and keeping social order and
safety, people’s public security is a representative of the State in the enforcement of
intellectual property rights with foreign elements in Vietnam. In execution of its functions
and duties, people’s public security acts as a counsellor for the Party and State on national
security and is also a state management agency in national security and social order and
safety, as well as an agency taking charge of executing proceedings and directly
struggling for prevention and fighting of crimes and acts of infringement of intellectual
property rights with foreign elements. Thus, highly effective enforcement of intellectual
property right with foreign elements in Vietnam by people’s public security contributes to
stabilizing and developing the country, maintaining the national independence and path to
socialism construction in the conditions of international integration. In order to obtain
these goals, people’s public security is in need of innovating and comprehensively
reforming methods of operation, meeting requirements of the country in current context.
In recent years, people’s public security forces have effectively executed their
functions and duties in the enforcement of intellectual property rights with foreign
elements in Vietnam, especially in the field of advisory work, state management and
24
prevention and fighting crimes and acts of infringement of intellectual property rights
with foreign elements in Vietnam. The obvious achievement of people’s public security
forces is that hundreds of national security violation cases relating to state’s secrets,
business secrets, thousands of cases relating to production, purchase, selling and
consumption of counterfeit goods, and violation of intellectual property rights with
foreign elements in Vietnam were detected and tackled over the past few years, affirming
the core role of people’s public security in this burning battle. However, in addition to
obtained achievements, the enforcement of intellectual property right with foreign
elements in Vietnam still exists some issues that need to be supplemented and improved,
of which raising people’s public security’s enlisted ranks’ awareness and consciousness
on laws in general, and law on intellectual property rights in particular is the first priority.
Also, it is necessary to establish an agency of people’s public security that specializes in
the enforcement of intellectual property rights with foreign elements in Vietnam. In
addition, grasping the situations of intellectual property should be paid more attention,
because if necessary information on crimes and violations of intellectual property rights
with foreign elements in Vietnam is not adequately updated, effective measures and
methods of enforcing laws are not put forward according to given goals.
In order to effectively enforce the intellectual property rights with foreign elements
in Vietnam, it is also required that the State should create comprehensive coordination
mechanisms between functional departments, including: People’s public security,
People’s Committee, market management, customs agencies, Inspectorate, the people’s
court, people’s procuracy, etc. Simultaneously, it is essential to have an effective
coordination mechanism to exchange information between Minitries, sectors, scientists,
businessmen, journalists and to cooperate closely with international countries and
organizations to join forces to fight crimes and combat violation of intellectual property
rights with foreign elements in Vietnam.
To have adequate strength to enforce intellectual property rights with foreign
elements, it is required to build and complete regular, modern, lean and appropriate
people’s public security forces, meeting real requirements. In addition, a complete and
synchronous law system is a firm foundation for people’s public security forces to fulfill
their missions in the cause of protection of national security and maintenance of social
order and safety.
In spite of best efforts to carry out the research, the title of the thesis is new in Viet
Nam legal science with relatively wide research object and scope, so it is inevitable to
have shortcomings in both contents and forms. The writer of the thesis would like to
receive highly valuable contribution ideas of scienctists and intellectual property experts
to complete the thesis with better quality./.
