How it works

Five stages, from search to
certificate

Indonesia’s trademark process follows the Directorate General of Intellectual Property (DGIP). Here’s what actually happens at each stage.

1

Trademark search

We run a clearance search across the DGIP database to confirm your name or logo isn't already registered or too similar to an existing mark.

2

Application filing

We prepare your application, classify your goods and services correctly, and submit it with the required supporting documents.

3

Formality & substantive examination

DGIP reviews your application for completeness, then examines it against existing marks and legal requirements.

4

Publication period

Your mark is published for public opposition. If a third party objects, we prepare and file your legal response.

5

Certificate issuance

Once approved, your trademark is officially registered — protected nationwide for 10 years, renewable indefinitely.

Frequently Asked Questions

Straight Answers, No Legalese

What is a trademark and why do I need one in Indonesia?

A trademark is any name, logo, phrase, or symbol that identifies your goods or services. Registering it gives you exclusive legal rights to use it nationwide and grounds to act against anyone who copies it.

 
How long does trademark registration take?

From filing to certificate, the process typically takes 12–18 months, including a mandatory 2-month public opposition period. We keep you updated throughout.

 
What happens if I don't register — can someone else take my brand name?

Yes. Indonesia follows a strict “first-to-file” system — whoever files first generally owns the rights, even if you used the name first. This is why early registration matters.

 
Can foreigners register a trademark in Indonesia?

Yes. Foreign individuals and companies can register trademarks in Indonesia, provided they appoint a local registered representative — which is exactly what we do for our clients.

 
How long is a registered trademark valid?

Ten years from the filing date, and it can be renewed indefinitely every 10 years as long as you continue to use the mark and file renewals on time.

 
What if my application receives an objection?

We monitor the publication period on your behalf. If a third party objects, our team prepares and files a formal counter-statement to defend your application.
