Yes! Foreign individuals and companies can register trademarks in Indonesia. You must appoint a local IP consultant (which we provide), but you don’t need to be physically present. We handle everything remotely through power of attorney.
The ™ symbol can be used immediately to indicate you’re claiming trademark rights (even without registration). The ® symbol can only be used after your trademark is officially registered with DGIP. Using ® without registration is illegal in Indonesia.
During the 2-month publication period, third parties can file oppositions. If this happens, we prepare and submit a counter-statement defending your application. Our experienced team handles all opposition proceedings.
Ideally both, but separately. A wordmark protects your brand name in any font or style. A logo registration protects the specific design. Many businesses start with their company name and add logo protection later. We can advise on the best strategy for your situation.
Don’t wait until someone else registers your brand name. With Indonesia’s first-to-file system, acting quickly is essential. Bali Business Builders makes trademark registration straightforward, transparent, and stress-free.
