Over the past five years, the entertainment and education sector has emerged as one of the fastest-growing trademark categories in Vietnam, reflecting the market’s dynamism and immense potential. The rapid development of the digital economy, coupled with a young consumer base, is creating significant opportunities for both domestic and international enterprises.
Enterprises doing business in Vietnam should contact a reputable Vietnam Intellectual Property Law Firm to receive in-depth consultation to their needs.
Vietnamese enterprises leading the trademark wave
According to the IP Market 2025 Report by ASL LAW, approximately 90% of trademark applications in this sector come from Vietnamese companies, focusing on areas such as:
• Digital television and broadcasting
• Digital platforms and entertainment applications
• Online education
• Multimedia and media services
Leading brands driving the trend include VTC Mobile, VNG, Vie Channel, Vingroup, and Masterise, demonstrating the strong creativity and brand development capabilities of domestic enterprises.
Challenges from international corporations
Although domestic companies dominate, international corporations have begun entering Vietnam’s entertainment and education market. This has turned the sector into a high-potential yet easily saturated “IP battlefield.” Pioneering enterprises that strategically secure early trademark protection and expand coverage across multiple industries can gain a substantial competitive advantage.
Strategies for building sustainable brands
To maximize opportunities, Vietnamese enterprises should focus on:
- Early trademark registration: Protect intellectual property rights before the market becomes saturated and reduce dispute risks.
- Expanding multi-sector protection: Cover related areas such as online education, digital platforms, and entertainment services to increase brand value.
- Building strong and sustainable brands: Establish clear brand positioning in consumers’ minds through registration of trademark in Vietnam, especially among young and digital-savvy users.
The entertainment and education sector is entering a “golden period” for brand development and consolidation in Vietnam.
