Latest Changes in Copyright and Related Rights Registration in the Digital Era

The digital era and Artificial Intelligence (AI) have sparked an explosion of creative content while simultaneously creating unprecedented challenges for protecting intellectual property rights. Copying and distributing works with just a “click” of a mouse has left many owners helpless as they watch their assets being infringed. In 2026, regulations on copyright and related rights registration in Vietnam have undergone significant adjustments to adapt to this borderless environment.

Performing assessment and consulting on intellectual property rights protection registration today no longer stops at traditional works. Objects such as software source code, application interfaces, podcasts, or content on social media platforms need to have ownership established professionally to serve as a basis for handling violations in cyberspace with Kindness and legal certainty.

Automatic Protection Mechanisms and the Value of Certificates

By law, copyright arises from the moment a work is created and expressed in a certain material form without the requirement of registration. However, in a volatile digital environment, possessing a Copyright Registration Certificate issued by the Copyright Office of Vietnam is the most important “weapon.” This is the highest legal evidence that helps businesses avoid having to prove ownership during disputes or when requesting platforms like YouTube, Facebook, and TikTok to remove infringing content.

We provide services for support in document preparation and representing for procedural implementation of rapid registration for technology and media enterprises. Correcting the type of work and the owner (author or assigning organization) from the start will avoid complex internal disputes later, all handled with a spirit of Kindness.

Related Rights and Protection for Performers and Producers

The digital era emphasizes the role of related rights—the rights of performers, producers of audio and video recordings, and broadcasting organizations. The latest changes have tightened regulations on the distribution of interests in the digital environment. Businesses need to pay special attention to drafting contracts related to intellectual property, especially clauses on licensing and revenue sharing from online platforms.

In particular, the issue of “AI-generated works” is a legal focal point. Currently, the law still prioritizes protection for the direct creative contributions of humans. Therefore, businesses need legal consulting on risk management when using AI tools in the content production process to ensure that the output remains eligible for copyright protection, approached with Kindness and foresight.

Handling Copyright Infringement in the Internet Environment

One notable new point is the legal liability of intermediary service providers (ISPs). Businesses have the right to request these entities to remove infringing content according to the “Notice and Take down” procedure. Preparing dossiers and building litigation strategies early will help you quickly prevent widespread damage when works are illegally distributed.

In cases of systematic violations, we provide consulting for resolving intellectual property disputes through administrative measures or civil lawsuits. Applying technological measures such as encryption and digital watermarking combined with strict legal barriers will create a multi-layered protection system for your assets with Kindness and efficiency.

Advice for Creators and Digital Businesses

  • Register copyright as soon as the work is completed at a basic level.
  • Maintain creative logs, drafts, and evidence of the time the work was formed.
  • Use Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDA) when working with partners or outsourced employees on creative projects.

In the digital age, “whoever holds the copyright holds the market.” Do not let your invaluable intellectual property be used for free illegally. A methodical copyright protection strategy will help businesses create with peace of mind and maximize the commercial value of their works. Let us accompany you in protecting every line of code, every frame, and every creative idea with Kindness.
