It is interesting to note that Vietnam and Laos are not yet members of the WTO, but
Cambodia and Myanmar are already members. To become TRIPS compliant,
Cambodia has enacted a complete set of intellectual property laws in 2002 and 2003.
In 2002, it adopted a Law concerning Marks, Trade Names and Acts of Unfair
Competition and in 2003 a Law on Patents, Utility Model Certificates and Industrial
Designs as well as a Law on Copyright and Related Rights.35 According to press
reports and WIPO documents, Myanmar is about to enact a comprehensive National
Law on Intellectual Property Rights, for which WIPO has provided advice and
technical assistance36. The new law will replace the Copyright Act of 1911 and a
basic registration system for trade marks under Direction 13 of the Registration Act.37
Laos currently has in place two decrees of the Prime Minister on the protection of
trade marks and patents. Responsible for intellectual property matters in Laos is the
intellectual property division of the Science, Technology and Environment Agency
(STEA). A comprehensive new law covering all areas of intellectual property is in
preparation.
