Trademark registration, patent applications and copyright recordal to protect your brand and innovations in Indonesia.

Indonesia follows a first-to-file trademark system. Brands that enter the market without registering are frequently hijacked and forced to buy back their mark or rebrand. We provide one-stop IP services — searches, filing, opposition handling, assignment and renewal — so your brand is firmly protected in Indonesia.

FAQ

How long does trademark registration take in Indonesia?

Typically 12–18 months including examination and publication. A filing receipt is issued immediately and establishes your priority.

Is my Chinese trademark valid in Indonesia?

No. Trademark rights are territorial — a separate Indonesian registration is required for protection.

Can a trademark be renewed?

Yes. Indonesian trademarks are valid for 10 years and can be renewed before expiry — we will remind you in advance.
