ACTIP Corporation

What ACTIP Corporation does

ACTIP Corporation is a privately-held, full-service intellectual property law firm headquartered in Hanoi, Vietnam, operating through three wholly-owned specialized business units: ACTIP Patent Limited (patent prosecution and technology), ACTIP IP Limited (trademark law), and ACTIP Law Firm (IP litigation and enforcement). Founded in 2001 by Ho Vinh Thinh as an IP boutique in Vietnam, the firm was restructured in 2011 into an integrated corporate structure designed to deliver coordinated patent, trademark, design, copyright, and litigation services across Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, and Myanmar. It also maintains associate relationships with more than 100 international IP firms for cross-border filings, and the firm has stated it ranked among the top ten IP firms in Vietnam within its first decade.

The firm serves enterprise corporations, university R&D centers and inventors, and technology/manufacturing clients (automotive, motorcycle, electronics, telecommunications, pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, and chemicals). Its core offering is fee-based professional services: patent drafting and prosecution (including PCT), trademark clearance and registration, industrial design protection, and IP litigation before courts and administrative authorities. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. The firm employs 40+ professionals — patent and trademark attorneys, patent engineers, technical experts with PhDs across multiple scientific disciplines, litigators, and former examiners from the Vietnamese National Patent & Trademark Office — and credits itself with 2,000+ patent applications, 1,500+ design applications, 10,000+ trademark applications, and 10,000+ trademark searches over the past ten years.

The go-to-market is enterprise field sales delivered through four directly-staffed offices (Hanoi, Vientiane, Phnom Penh, Yangon) and complemented by the international associate network. Distribution-side partnerships and channel assets include official counsel roles (e.g., General Legal Counsel to VASMIE from 2009), university outreach agreements with Hanoi University of Sciences and Technology and Vietnam University of Civil Engineering, and external links to WIPO, INTA, USPTO, EPO, JPO, and KIPO. The company is founder-controlled, with no disclosed institutional investment or public listing.
