- Services related to IP including legal procedures such as representation and consultancy need to be expanded and improved in quality. Create conditions for business activities of industrial property representation and consultancy services in the direction of loosening legal policies. In addition, it is necessary to improve the qualifications of the IP consultancy and representative team; expand the IP network; consolidate and promote the role of the Vietnam Industrial Property Association and other professional mass associations.
Expanding and improving support and supplementary activities related to industrial property rights in general and patents in particular is one of the measures contributing to promoting effective patent protection activities in Vietnam, thereby limiting the remaining shortcomings in the legal system.
Fourth, strengthen international cooperation activities
Since inventions are only protected when they meet the criteria of novelty on a global scale, cooperation in exchanging data and information is more necessary than ever. In addition, Vietnam can also learn from the experience of building and perfecting patent protection laws, cooperating in advanced training, etc. Therefore, strengthening and expanding international cooperation in all aspects of the field of intellectual property is an urgent requirement. In the future, cooperation needs to be expanded in the following directions:
Maintain and develop existing cooperative relationships. Seek international assistance in perfecting the intellectual property protection system for inventions.

Expand cooperation with new partners, multilateralize relations, cooperate not only with specific countries but also with groups of countries, blocs and international organizations. Promote cooperation with countries such as China and ASEAN countries. Furthermore, Vietnam needs to prioritize its relationship with the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO).
Fifth, it is necessary to invest appropriately in individuals and organizations participating in the work of perfecting intellectual property laws. The State needs to have a clear plan for financial investment in perfecting intellectual property laws. Because this activity cannot be done quickly "overnight" and it requires the contribution of many individuals and organizations other than just the legislative body such as: university lecturers, intellectual property officers of intellectual property management agencies such as copyright agencies, intellectual property agencies, market management, customs, economic police, court officials, etc.
Sixth , it is necessary to raise public awareness of the role of intellectual property rights and intellectual property law. Only when we have a correct understanding of the role of intellectual property and intellectual property law can we have good intellectual property law. The World Intellectual Property Organization also affirms that raising public awareness is the key to improving the quality of intellectual property law and enforcement effectiveness in its action strategy. At the same time, it is necessary to improve the legal level, professional qualifications, expertise, and skills of law-making officials in general and intellectual property law in particular.
Seventh, it is necessary to ensure effective coordination between legislative bodies and other relevant individuals and organizations in the work to perfect intellectual property laws. The perfection of intellectual property laws must be considered not only the work of legislative bodies but also the work of the entire population, businesses, associations, intellectual property representatives, creators, etc. Only then can our intellectual property laws truly encourage creativity, be a solid legal basis for protecting creative achievements, and be highly feasible.
Above are basic solutions to overcome these limitations.
still exist in the legal system of patent protection as well as in the protection of this subject in practice. If all solutions are implemented synchronously and seriously, the effectiveness of this activity will be significantly improved. Hopefully, in the near future, the limitations in the legal system as well as the existence in the implementation of patent protection activities will soon be overcome and increasingly improve, keeping pace with the general development of the world.
Chapter 3 Conclusion
Based on the provisions of intellectual property law in Chapter 2, in Chapter 3, the thesis evaluates at the most general level the practical implementation of the provisions of the law on conditions for patent protection with the results achieved in the registration and granting of exclusive patents. In particular, in Chapter 3, the thesis focuses on clarifying the limitations and shortcomings that still exist in the provisions of intellectual property law on patents and conditions for patent protection. From there, the thesis proposes a number of solutions to improve the legal provisions on conditions for patent protection, as well as solutions to overcome the remaining limitations in the registration and granting of patents such as: Increasing the effectiveness of the competent authority system; Raising awareness of industrial rights protection for inventions; Training human resources, improving supporting activities, and international cooperation.
CONCLUDE
An invention is a technical solution in the form of a product or process that solves a specific problem by applying natural laws. An invention must meet the conditions of novelty, creativity and industrial applicability in order to be granted a patent. It can be said that the conditions for patent protection under the provisions of Vietnamese intellectual property law are built on the basis of conformity and selection from the provisions on patent protection conditions according to international standards and the laws of countries with advanced intellectual property regulations in the world. This can be seen as an effort by Vietnam to perfect the legal system on intellectual property to meet the requirements of deep integration into international economic life, especially since we joined the World Trade Organization WTO.
In recent years, the number of patents has become a criterion for assessing a country's competitiveness. Countries around the world, especially developing countries including Vietnam, are increasingly paying more attention to creative activities, encouraging the creation of inventions, considering inventions as strategic assets. At the same time, activities related to patent protection are also being paid more attention and promoted than ever. In addition to the positive aspects that regulations on patent protection conditions bring, there are still certain limitations and shortcomings. These limitations stem from different causes, requiring comprehensive solutions to overcome them. The effective implementation of intellectual property law provisions on patent protection conditions depends largely on the awareness of the subjects and the wisdom of the legislators in the legislative process.
