Associate Trung Nguyen has joined Tilleke & Gibbins, where he will join the firm’s expanded IP enforcement team in Ho Chi Minh City. Nguyen has more than 15 years of experience in Vietnam, and was previously the head of the patent team and the dispute resolution team at Rouse in Vietnam. Prior to joining Rouse, he had been head of investigation and enforcement at Investip. Nguyen is a qualified lawyer and registered IP agent, and also holds a degree in mechanical engineering.

“Our IP enforcement team has been doing excellent, groundbreaking work from our Hanoi office,” said Thomas J Treutler, partner and managing director of the firm’s Vietnam offices. “By adding Trung and expanding our in-house IPR investigation practice in Ho Chi Minh City, we will be able to take even more aggressive action on behalf of our clients against infringers and counterfeiters in Vietnam’s largest market.”
