The impact of CPTPP and EVFTA commitments on the mechanism for enforcing copyright in the digital environment in Vietnam

Abstract
In the context of digital transformation,
Vietnam is facing numerous challenges in enforcing copyright as online
infringements grow in scale and become increasingly sophisticated. Commitments
under the CPTPP and EVFTA require Vietnam to enhance protection standards,
fully apply civil, administrative, and criminal remedies, and establish the
legal liability of intermediary service providers. Although Vietnam has amended
the Intellectual Property Law and acceded to several WIPO treaties, the gap
between legal provisions and enforcement practice remains significant. The main
causes stem from insufficiently deterrent sanctions, difficulties in monitoring
infringements in the digital environment, and ineffective coordination among
competent authorities. Against this backdrop, Vietnam needs to adopt a
comprehensive set of solutions, including further improving the legal
framework, strengthening technological tools for monitoring, enhancing the
capacity of enforcement agencies, and promoting public awareness to foster a
culture of copyright compliance. Effective enforcement of copyright not only
helps Vietnam meet its international obligations but also contributes to the
development of the creative industries and strengthens the country’s
competitiveness in the integration process.
