Vietnamese exporters and producers face the risk of losing their markets in the United States unless they respect copyright rules, a conference on competition law and copyrights heard in Ho Chi Minh City on Friday.
The US will not allow import of import of products and will fine exporters and producers at least US$20,000 if they are found using illegal software and hardware, delegates said.
“These are provisions in the US Unfair Competition Act [UCA] which has been effective in Washington and Louisiana states since last year,” Tran Thuc Hoang, director of the Information and Telecommunications Development Assistance Centre, said.”
