According to the evaluation of the Department
of Science and Technology, the specialized agencies and local people have
invested in exploring the potential and strengths of local products of value,
which can be considered as specialties to focus on building up their brand
names. The initial specific results show that some products have been
established their intellectual property rights under the name of the locality,
under protection in the country and internationally (Cao Phong geographical
indication has been registered protection in the EU). As a result, the
awareness of the creation, protection and development of intellectual
properties has been gradually improved. This initially shapes the use of
intellectual property tools to enhance the value and competitiveness of
products, contributing to sustainable socio-economic development, orienting
consumers to use quality-guaranteed products. Most of the products protected
