Technology transfer and licensing arrangements
Technology transfer and licensing arrangements play a critical role in enabling innovation, market expansion, and operational efficiency. In Vietnam, these transactions are subject to specific legal frameworks governing intellectual property, technology transfer, foreign investment, and sector-based restrictions. Improper structuring may result in unenforceable agreements or regulatory rejection.
