Trademark Registration

Indonesia operates under a 'First to File' trademark system. Protecting your intellectual property before launching in the market is critical to avoiding brand hijacking and costly legal disputes. The Process: 1. Similarity Search: We conduct exhaustive searches across the DGIP (Directorate General of Intellectual Property) databases to ensure your mark doesn't conflict with existing filings. 2. Filing Application: Submission of brand logos, names, and precise selection of Nice Classification classes. 3. Formal Examination & Publication: The government verifies the documents and publishes the mark for 2 months to allow for public opposition. 4. Substantive Examination & Certification: Final approval leading to a certificate valid for 10 years. Brand Hijacking Mitigation: Foreign brands frequently find their names registered by local opportunists. We secure your brand identity against local infringement early, safeguarding your operational future in Southeast Asia's largest economy.
