Trademark Registration – Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) registration is a requirement for all businesses as it ensures the safeguarding of their trademarks, patents, and industrial designs by the state. In Indonesia, these registrations are governed by Law Number 13 of 2016 concerning Patents and Law Number 20 of 2016 concerning Trademarks and Geographical Indications.
While businesses opt to register IPR independently through the Directorate General of Intellectual Property (DGIP) across Indonesia or with registered IPR consultants, doing so involves managing all aspects of the process, from meeting requirements to guiding the registration procedure.
However, the process of patent and trademark registration in Indonesia remains complex and time-consuming. If there are insufficient requirements during trademark registration it can lead to rejection, while opposition from other parties can prolong the process.
It’s crucial to note that patents must adhere to specific specifications to secure a filing date, trademark rejection and disputes are also possible outcomes. To navigate these challenges, businesses rely on trusted and registered intellectual property consultants with the necessary qualifications, knowledge, and experience to prepare patent specifications effectively.
Upon further examination, Indonesia’s patent system draws heavily from Europe’s, while trademark registration demands meeting substantive such as novelty, inventive step, and industrial application, including claims for methods of treatment and living organisms.
