Trademark Management in Indonesia: Protecting Your Intellectual Property
Indonesia, as one of Southeast Asia’s largest economies, is a vital jurisdiction for brand protection. The country operates under a first-to-file trademark system, which means timely registration and diligent management are critical to securing rights. The Indonesian Directorate General of Intellectual Property (DGIP) governs trademark matters, and staying compliant with their procedural requirements is key to protecting your brand. At Liesegang & Partner, we offer specialized trademark management services tailored to the Indonesian legal landscape, ensuring your trademarks remain legally protected and effectively enforced.

If your trademark faces opposition, we represent you before the DGIP to defend your application and argue for registration. Early action is crucial to avoid rejection or delays.
Why the Above Trademark Services Are Important
Each of these trademark services plays a vital role in protecting your rights in Indonesia:
- Contact updates are essential for ensuring official communications and avoiding missed deadlines.
- Ownership changes must be recorded to reflect the current legal holder of rights and to prevent future enforcement issues.
- Legal representatives are mandatory for foreign entities and provide a local point of contact for all proceedings.
- Trademark oppositions are the first line of defense in protecting your brand from infringing or confusingly similar marks.
- Defense in oppositions is critical to securing your trademark rights if challenged by third parties.
Proper trademark management minimizes the risk of legal disputes, administrative errors, and brand dilution in a competitive and rapidly evolving market like Indonesia.
