HANOI, June 2 (Xinhua) -- Vietnamese Deputy Prime Minister Ho Quoc Dung has urged ministries, sectors and local authorities to step up efforts to combat intellectual property infringements, targeting a minimum 20-percent rise in the number of handled cases in 2026 from the 2025 level, local media Voice of Vietnam (VOV) reported on Tuesday.
Dung made the remarks at a meeting held the same day to review the implementation of the prime minister's directive on strengthening measures to prevent, detect and handle intellectual property right infringements.
During a nationwide crackdown staged from May 7 to May 30, authorities uncovered more than 2,000 intellectual property violation cases, over 1,600 of which have been processed.
Administrative fines topped more than 17.87 billion Vietnamese dong (about 710,800 U.S. dollars), while infringing goods seized were valued at nearly 115.6 billion dong (about 4.6 million dollars), the report said.
Deputy Minister of Industry and Trade Nguyen Hoang Long proposed piloting an artificial intelligence-powered monitoring and data-scanning system.
The system would help identify online accounts or premises suspected of selling counterfeit goods and feed early-warning data to law-enforcement bodies for prompt intervention, Long said.
