Trademark Registration in Indonesia - Protect Your Brand Nationwide
Trademark applications in Indonesia are administered by the Directorate General of Intellectual Property (DGIP) under the Ministry of Law and Human Rights. DGIP is responsible for the examination, publication, opposition, and registration of trademarks in Indonesia. The system follows a first-to-file principle and includes formal examination, substantive examination, publication, and registration. Foreign applicants are required to file through a locally registered Indonesian IP agent.

Exclusive Rights: Grants you exclusive legal ownership and control over your trademark for the registered goods/services throughout Indonesia.
Legal Enforcement: Enables you to take action against infringement, counterfeiting, and unauthorized use through the Directorate General of Intellectual Property (DGIP) and relevant courts.
Nationwide Protection: Secures trademark protection across the entire territory of Indonesia.
Regional Protection Advantage: Indonesia is a member of the Madrid Protocol, allowing international trademark protection through a single application across multiple member countries.
