WANDCO Intellectual Property
A team shaped around four kinds of right.
WANDCO works as a team under the leadership of Patricia Ann Winarta, Managing Partner and Registered IP Consultant. Each practice area calls for its own skills, set out below.
Skills by practice area
-
Trademark
The skills here follow the path the law sets: the classes of goods and services, the formality examination, the two-month public announcement in which others may oppose, substantive examination against earlier marks, and the certificate, with renewal and recordal afterwards.
-
Patent
The skills here centre on the invention itself: whether it is new, inventive and industrially applicable; the choice between a standard patent and a simple patent; and the examination stages through to grant and annual fees, including the earlier substantive examination introduced in 2024.
-
Industrial Design
The skills here turn on appearance and novelty: the images and description that make up an application, the need to file before the design is released, and the announcement and objection stages through to the certificate.
-
Copyright
The skills here are mostly about proof: what the law protects automatically, and the fact that recording a work with DJKI is optional but can help as evidence.
Across every right
Cross-border matters
Owners who live or are based outside Indonesia must file trademark, patent and design applications through an IP consultant resident in Indonesia. Indonesian owners expanding abroad can use the Madrid Protocol for marks, the Patent Cooperation Treaty for patents, and the Paris Convention priority period.
Deadlines
Each right runs on dates that matter: a trademark renewal can be filed in the six months before expiry, with a further six months on payment of a surcharge; annual fees on patents, with up to six months' grace on payment of a surcharge; a three-month window to object to an announced design; the priority periods set by the Paris Convention.
Where every matter starts
Every matter starts from the official procedure: which right applies, which stages DJKI sets, and which dates decide whether a right is gained or lost. No outcome is promised, because decisions rest with DJKI and, where relevant, the courts.
