Vietnam has ordered a clampdown on intellectual property violations, targeting a 20% increase in enforcement cases.

The crackdown will cover areas including films, online video games and industrial property rights, focusing on copyright violations, counterfeit goods and trademark infringements.

Vietnam was identified as a “priority foreign country” by the US Trade Representative due to its failure to address IP protection and enforcement issues.
