Indonesia
trademarks registration are regulated by the Trademark Act No 15 of 2001 under
the Directorate General of Intellectual Property Rights. According to the Act,
the Indonesia mark (trademark and service mark) is a sign in the form of words,
numbers, letters, figures, colors, composition, symbols or a combination of all
those used to distinguish the goods or services of one person or legal entity
from those of others. The government body responsible for the administration
and registration of Indonesia Trademark rights is the Directorate General of
Intellectual Property Rights (DGIP).
Usage of the ® Registered Trademark and ™
Trademark
Registering
your trademark doesn’t guarantee it is completely safe. Hence, using ® or ™ in
your trademark to affirm to the public that you trademark is registered is
another good way to avoid any infringements on your trademark. You are not
obliged or required to obtain permission to use this symbol. The ® symbol is
used after the Directorate General of Intellectual Property Rights (DGIP)
issues the trademark certificate and the ™ is for an approved trademark that
has not formally been registered yet.
Indonesia
trademark registration applies nationally and in case a trademark isn’t used
for 3 to 5 years from the registration date, the certificate will be revoked. This
means that the holder will lose his or her rights for the trademark.

Indonesia Trademark Protection
Indonesia
trademark protection becomes effective upon the registration of a sign in the
register. The term of protection starts on the application date and lasts 10
years. It can be renewed by further 10-year periods but a request for renewal
must be filed within six months before the current term expires.
Currently,
the Indonesian government is in process of revising the Indonesian Trademark
Act, which will be superseded by the Madrid Protocol by the end of 2015. Under
the Madrid Protocol, foreign applicants can register their trademark in one
application, one language, with one single office, one set of fees and one
currency. With this Indonesia trademark registration process, Indonesia will
still have the right to decide whether to protect the proposed trademark or
not. Nevertheless, foreign businesses who register their
trademark through the international route still need legal assistance for a
comprehensive understanding of the legalities of running a business in
Indonesia. This can prevents any future disputes or infringement.
