Protecting the Ideas That Drive Your Business Forward
Comprehensive IP protection strategies for startups, creators, and corporations — from registration through enforcement and licensing.
Our Intellectual Property practice covers the full spectrum of legal matters in this area — from straightforward consultations to the most complex, high-stakes proceedings.
Filing trademark applications with DJKI (Directorate General of Intellectual Property), handling office actions, and managing international registrations through the Madrid System.
Drafting and prosecuting patent applications for inventions, utility models, and industrial designs — including PCT international patent applications.
Registering literary, artistic, musical, and software works with DJKI, drafting licensing agreements, and enforcing copyright against infringers.
Implementing confidentiality structures, NDAs, and non-compete agreements to protect proprietary business information, formulas, and processes.
Pursuing infringers through customs seizure, administrative complaints, civil litigation, and criminal prosecution — both in Indonesia and through international enforcement channels.
Conducting IP audits for M&A transactions, developing IP portfolio strategies, and structuring IP holding structures for tax and liability efficiency.
We don't apply generic legal templates. Every engagement follows our proven three-phase methodology — adapted to the specific facts and objectives of your matter.
We begin with a comprehensive audit of your existing IP assets, registrations, and agreements — identifying unprotected assets, registration gaps, and infringement risks.
We develop a prioritized filing strategy that maximizes protection within your budget — filing the most critical trademarks, patents, and copyrights first, with international strategy mapped out.
We actively monitor DJKI publications and online channels for infringement, taking swift action — from cease-and-desist letters to customs recordals and criminal referrals.

Ask an AttorneyDJKI trademark examination typically takes 14–18 months from filing date. Expedited examination (for an additional fee) can reduce this to approximately 6 months.
Copyright protection is automatic upon creation in Indonesia. However, registration with DJKI provides legal presumption of ownership — critical evidence in enforcement proceedings.
Yes. Indonesia is party to the Paris Convention, allowing priority claims within 6 months of your first filing. We also handle Madrid Protocol international extensions.
A patent requires a higher inventive step and lasts 20 years. A utility model (paten sederhana) is easier to obtain, takes 2 years to register, and lasts 10 years — better for incremental innovations.
Software source code is protected as a literary work under copyright law. The underlying algorithms or technical innovations may also qualify for patent protection. We advise on the optimal strategy.
Your first consultation is free, confidential, and without obligation. We'll assess your situation honestly and recommend the best path forward — whether that's our firm or another option.
