Trademark Registration in Indonesia: Requirements and Cost

Trademark registration in Indonesia requires more than simply submitting an application. Foreign individuals and companies need to prepare the correct documents, select the appropriate trademark class, and assess potential conflicts with existing marks. Mistakes at these stages can increase the risk of delays or rejection.

Trademark Registration Cost in Indonesia

The Indonesian government has increased the trademark registration fee effective August 1, 2026. The cost of trademark registration in Indonesia through Patendo Intellectual Property Consultant is USD 290 per trademark per class. This fee includes the official fees payable to the Indonesian government as well as Patendo’s service fees. Once your trademark has been approved by the Indonesian government through the Directorate General of Intellectual Property (DGIP/DJKI), you will receive the trademark certificate free of charge in PDF format.

Applicants who wish to register a trademark in multiple classes should therefore calculate the total cost based on the number of classes applied for, rather than solely on the number of trademark names.

Trademark Registration Requirements in Indonesia

The documents and information required depend partly on whether the applicant is an individual or a company. In general, applicants should prepare:

1. The applicant's identity and contact information.
2. The trademark name and/or logo to be registered.
3. A clear description of the goods or services covered by the trademark.
4. The appropriate trademark class or classes.
5. Supporting identification/Passport or company documents.
6. Authorization or other documents where required for representation.

For foreign companies, company documents must clearly identify the legal entity applying for the trademark. Individual foreign applicants will instead need the applicable personal identification documents.

Selecting the correct goods, services, and classes is particularly important. Trademark protection is connected to the scope applied for, so applicants should consider both their current business activities and relevant protection needs before filing.

How to Register a Trademark in Indonesia

The trademark registration process in Indonesia begins after the applicant has identified the mark, owner, goods or services, and appropriate classes. Foreign applicants must use an Indonesian Intellectual Property Consultant for the application.

In practical terms, the registration process involves:

1. Prepare the trademark application. Applicant details, trademark representation, goods or services, classes, and supporting documents must be prepared.
2. File the application. The application is submitted through the DJKI trademark system, including applicant, representative, trademark, class, and supporting-document information.
3. Pay the official filing fee. The application proceeds after the applicable government fee is paid.
4. DJKI processes the application. The application enters the applicable formal and substantive stages, including the examination and publication procedures required under Indonesian trademark rules.
5. Registration and protection. If the application successfully completes the required process, the trademark can proceed to registration.

The DJKI/ DGIP online procedure itself requires applicant data, consultant information where a representative is used, trademark data, class information, supporting documents, billing, payment, and issuance of the application receipt.

How Long Does Trademark Registration Take?

Applicants should distinguish between filing an application and obtaining final registration. Filing can be completed once the required information, documents, and payment are ready, but the application must still proceed through DJKI's examination stages.

For this reason, foreign applicants should plan trademark protection early rather than waiting until a product launch or business expansion is already underway. The trademark registration process, from filing the application until the trademark is approved and the trademark certificate is issued, takes approximately 6 months.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Can I use my trademark in Indonesia before it is registered?
Commercial use and registered trademark protection are different issues. Using a mark does not itself mean that the mark has obtained registration in Indonesia.

2. Does an overseas trademark registration automatically protect my brand in Indonesia?
No. Protection obtained in another jurisdiction does not automatically create an Indonesian national trademark registration.

3. Can a foreign applicant file directly without an Indonesian IP Consultant?
DJKI /DGIP states that foreign applicants must use an Intellectual Property Consultant.

4. Can one trademark application cover several products?
It can cover multiple goods or services, but they must be identified and classified appropriately. Multiple classes can affect filing costs.

5. What if my business operates in more than one trademark class?
Consider the classes relevant to the goods or services for which protection is needed rather than selecting a class only because it covers one current product.

6. Should I register before launching a product in Indonesia?
Early preparation can reduce the risk of discovering trademark problems after significant investment has already been made in branding or market entry.

7. Can an Indonesian trademark be renewed?
Yes. DJKI provides a renewal procedure for registered trademarks, with fees determined per class.

8. Can ownership of a registered trademark later be transferred?
Trademark rights can be subject to post-registration changes such as transfer, provided the applicable requirements and procedures are satisfied.

9. What should I do first if I want to register a trademark in Indonesia?
A practical starting point is to identify the mark, owner, goods or services, and intended classes.

10. Does the legal protection last forever?
The protection lasts for exactly 10 years from the date of your initial filing. You must file for a renewal before the current certificate reaches its expiration date. The WIPO (World Intellectual Property Organization) also recognizes this standard ten year validity period.
