How do I register a trademark in Indonesia?
Registering a trademark in Indonesia starts with conducting a trademark availability search to determine whether a similar mark has already been registered. After the search, an application is filed with the Directorate General of Intellectual Property (DGIP) through a local Indonesian intellectual property consultant.
The application generally requires the trademark specimen, applicant information, goods and services classification, and supporting documents. Once filed, the trademark will undergo formal examination, publication, and substantive examination before registration.
