ROUSE IN VIETNAM We recognize the impact behind the economic change from being centrally planned to market based, and how this has led to increased levels of protection for IPR in Vietnam. Good IPR management in Vietnam requires physical proximity to the various authorities, together with international standards of client service. Rouse Legal (Vietnam) works closely with Rouse’s Network Firm, Sao Bac Dau IP Ltd Co, to provide the full range of IP services and advice in Vietnam. We also provide IP services for Cambodia (where Rouse has now established an office) and Laos, as well as the IndoChina peninsula.
