What can be protected
Signs that distinguish goods or services: pictures, logos, names, words, letters, numbers, colour combinations, two- or three-dimensional forms, sounds, holograms, or a combination of these. Geographical indications are governed by the same law.
What we handle
Filing and handling of trademark applications as your representative before DJKI.
How an application proceeds
- Preparation and filing through DJKI’s online system.
- Formality examination of the documents.
- Public announcement for two months, during which others may oppose.
- Substantive examination, which tests the mark against the legal grounds for refusal and against earlier marks.
- Certificate, if the application is accepted.
Good to know
- Protection lasts ten years from the filing date and can be renewed for further ten-year periods. A renewal can be filed in the six months before expiry, with a further six months afterwards on payment of a surcharge.
- A first filing in another Paris Convention country can be used to claim priority in Indonesia if the Indonesian application follows within six months. The priority document must be translated into Indonesian.
- Applicants who live or are based abroad must file through an IP consultant resident in Indonesia.
- Timelines are set and updated by DJKI, so no fixed duration is promised here.
- The Trademark Law is also being considered for amendment; the rules in force at the time of filing should be confirmed with us.
