and established itself as a leading intellectual
property law firm in Vietnam. The firm engages
in prosecution, litigation, and licensing of intellectual
property rights both in Vietnam and overseas.

best known for the exceptional
quality of work it produces."

WTR 2012, 2015
Combining the expertise of several former IP Vietnam officers
and numerous science, technology, engineering
and mathematics degree holders, the group tackles matters
across an impressive range of sectors…
These high standards draw in big-name players, such as Apple Inc.
LÊ & LÊ takes care of business at the registry,
seamlessly sewing up trademark protection for its clientele.
The practice has an excellent track record of prosecution success
that spans many thousands of trademark applications
filed both nationally and abroad, including many directed towards
the signature marks of some of the world’s top technology,
apparel and food and beverage brands.
Not just a filing shop, the ensemble takes on litigation and
licensing assignments, bringing about excellent results there, too.
Our Team
Many of our team are former senior examiners
of the Intellectual Property Office of Vietnam,
