The May issue of the Industrial Property Bulletin features the registration of the Honda Forza 350 scooter design. The rights to this design belong to Honda Motor Company Limited.
While the Honda Forza 350 is not an entirely new model in the Vietnamese market, it is currently offered by several private importers. However, with its recent registration at the Vietnam Registry, it is highly likely that the scooter will soon be available through authorized dealers.
In addition to the scooter itself, accessories such as the wind deflector and the main light assembly have also been registered for copyright protection.
