Nevertheless, the numbers of trademark assignment recordals approved by the IP Office has not followed this trend, falling from 1,281 requests approved in 2022 to 1,120 requests approved in 2023. This decrease may be due to the IP Office\u2019s overly strict viewpoint in approving trademark assignments, including its rejection of assignment recordal on the ground of conflict with the assignor\u2019s trade name. IP Office\u2019s practice on assignment recordal Vietnam\u2019s IP Law restricts the assignment of trademarks in several cases, as set out in Article 139.4 that \u201cthe assignment of the rights to marks must not cause confusion as to properties or origins of goods or services bearing such marks.\u201d"}
