Trademark Registration in Indonesia

In Indonesia, your trademark application will be approved by the Directorate General of Intellectual Property. Upon approval, it will be included in the Indonesia trademark database. Intellectual Property (IP) will cover and protect your trademark since it identifies as one of your company’s assets.

To commence the trademark registration process in Indonesia, you will need to go through the following steps:

Step 1 – Locate an Intellectual Property Rights Consultant. Foreigners will need a local consultant with a Declaration of Entitlement and Power of Attorney to complete the process.
Step 2 – Perform the trademark search to ensure your intended trademark is compliant with the 2001 Trademark Act No. 15.
Step 3 – Finalise the registration process.

Your registration will take anywhere from 12 to 24 months to complete. You will be required to pay the fees incurred for the pre-filing search, registration request and the final registration certificate. The fees will depend on the type of goods or services you want to obtain.
