With the development of AI, music products are easily copied.

According to Luu Hoang Long, Director of the Intellectual Property Office, in the digital age and with the development of AI, musical products can be easily copied.

On the morning of April 25th, in Hanoi, the Department of Science and Technology, in collaboration with the Intellectual Property Office, organized the event "Responding to World Intellectual Property Day 2025".

This year, World Intellectual Property Day 2025 has the theme "Intellectual Property and Music - Feeling the Rhythm of Intellectual Property". It's an opportunity to celebrate the contributions of creators, inventors, and entrepreneurs who have pushed the boundaries of creativity and inspired an innovative future.

Mr. Luu Hoang Long - Director of the Intellectual Property Office.

At the ceremony, Mr. Luu Hoang Long, Director of the Intellectual Property Office, stated: "In the current era of rapidly developing digital and artificial intelligence (AI), musical products, from handwritten sheet music to modern digital arrangements, can easily be copied and exploited illegally. Therefore, an effective and appropriate intellectual property system is essential to prevent this."

"We have been actively coordinating with relevant agencies, ministries, and sectors to organize programs to raise awareness about intellectual property, supporting the community to better understand their rights and obligations in protecting intellectual property assets. In the future, we will continue to improve mechanisms and policies; promote education and dissemination of intellectual property knowledge in schools, research institutes, and businesses; and support the protection and commercialization of intellectual property assets," Mr. Long affirmed.

According to WIPO and Brand Finance, leading corporations such as Apple, Microsoft, and Nvidia, whose value has grown to trillions of USD, are based on intellectual property assets, from inventions and trademarks to trade secrets and software. When protected by intellectual property tools, these assets create an endless source of added value.

This is clear evidence that, in the digital age, intangible assets, especially intellectual property, are key to breakthrough development driven by science and technology.

Mr. Nguyen Quoc Ha - Deputy Director of the Hanoi Department of Science and Technology.

In the modern music industry, intellectual property plays a fundamental legal role – protecting the creative value and interests of individuals and organizations. More than just a management tool, intellectual property is also a source of spiritual support for musicians. When a song is protected, the composer's name is recognized, helping to affirm their individual artistic identity.

Musicians have control over their work, including how it is disseminated to the public. This provides a creative incentive for artists, knowing that their work has financial and legal value.

Mr. Nguyen Quoc Ha, Deputy Director of the Hanoi Department of Science and Technology, also affirmed: "Intellectual property is not only a legal tool, but also a driving force for creativity and contribution. Protecting copyright and intellectual property rights helps artists, inventors, and entrepreneurs feel secure in contributing, creating, and spreading cultural, scientific, and technological values."

In the context of rapid digital transformation and the Fourth Industrial Revolution, intellectual property is playing an increasingly crucial role in protecting intellectual assets and minimizing the risks of copyright infringement and unauthorized copying.

During the event, Mr. Nguyen Lam Thanh - TikTok's representative in Vietnam - also shared: "We need to develop work related to culture, including creative work, by protecting copyrights and increasing trust, encouraging new songwriters to enter the market, and producing more musical products."

With the support of the State, investors, and a supportive platform, we can promote and create career opportunities for those who perform artistic products. If we can achieve this, we can build a thriving creative industry.

When intellectual property rights become strong enough, like a "big pie" that develops in all aspects, there will no longer be a situation where, as the number of musicians increases, the number of singers and performing organizations decreases, like a "narrow shield" where one side pulls it down while the other is left open. When all parties sit down together, it will be a powerful driving force for the growth of the music copyright industry, according to Mr. Nguyen Lam Thanh.
