Last week, the Department of Intellectual Property (DIP) of Laos published the 359th issue of the Trademark Gazette, disclosing a total of 120 trademark applications. If you are doing business in Laos, this issue sends an important signal: under the first-to-file system, your brand may be preemptively registered by others at any time.

Quick Data Overview

• Total: 120 trademarks published.
• Popular Classes: Class 12 (vehicles, 11 applications), Class 30 (coffee, tea, etc., 11 applications), Class 03 (cosmetics, 10 applications), Class 35 (advertising, business management, 9 applications), Class 43 (catering and accommodation, 7 applications).
• Applicant Origins: China 37, USA 9, Japan 8, Malaysia 4, Thailand 4.

First-to-File System: Whoever Files First Wins

Laos adopts a "first-to-file" system, meaning that trademark rights belong to the person who first submits the application, not the first user. If you have been using a brand but have not registered it, others can preemptively register it, and you may even infringe on their rights. In this issue, Chinese enterprises filed the highest number of applications (37), indicating that many competitors are already making their moves.

How to Protect Your Brand?

1. Self-check Risks: Before filing an application, be sure to check whether identical or similar trademarks have already been registered by others.
2. File Opposition in Time: If you find that someone has preemptively registered your brand, you can file an opposition within the publication period (usually 60 days).
3. Free Tool: Use the free trademark search tool from 老法智 LaoPaniti to quickly screen your brand name.
