Trademark Registration Services

Trademark registration in Indonesia helps protect the owner’s right and file legal action against unauthorised use of this trademark.

In general, a trademark is defined as anything that distinctly separates a person, a firm or legal entity. It is considered intellectual property (IP), and therefore the Directorate General of Intellectual Property (DGIP) is the primary authority body approving trademark applications.

Indonesia is a member of the World Intellectual Property Organisation (WIPO), who is in charge of taking care of intellectual property rights internationally.

In Indonesia, piracy is common, and even well-known global brands are not spared from trademark infringement. Since it takes several months, usually more than one year, to get the trademark certificate, it is crucial to register your trademark as soon as possible especially in Indonesia where “first-come-first-served” basis is applied.

Registering a trademark in Indonesia: The Importance and Benefits

Since piracy is prevalent in the country, patenting your goods and services with a trademark is the smart choice you can make for your business. It is important to register your trademark with the authority because of the following benefits:
  • You will have exclusive right and advantage at the court
  • If you find an individual or a company using your trademark without your permission, you can sue this party at the court.

  • You will add value to your business
    A registered trademark is an intellectual property, which means that your trademark is a valuable tradable commodity. If you wish to sell, license or franchise it, you can do so.
  • You will stand out among competitors
    A trademark also serves as a brand of your business. Your potential customers can easily identify your business immediately among competitors.
  • Your trademark tells what your business is, what your products or services are and the value you stand for. A trademark is usually leveraged as part of branding and marketing strategies.

  • You can take down infringement immediately
    Online infringement can be spotted easily and quickly. In case of online infringement, you can ask the website owner to take your trademark down as you have proof that you have registered your trademark.
