Intellectual Property

Our rapidly expanding IP practice is making its mark in an area of the law in Indonesia that has traditionally been dominated by boutique law firms which have tended to focus narrowly on specific aspects, rather than on the bigger picture. By contrast, as a full-service law firm, we offer everything you need to register, protect and enforce your intellectual property rights. We are as much at home with the contentious as the non-contentious aspects of IP.

IP has come a long way in Indonesia since the days when domain squatting and other abuses were rife (although new abuses continue to crop up from time to time). The country’s IP regime is now broadly compliant with TRIPs and WTO requirements, while government’s determination to further bring it up to scratch is evidenced by the passage of a comprehensive new Copyright Law in 2014 and the imminent ratification of the Madrid Protocol.

With a robust team of seven dedicated IP lawyers, we additionally offer access to a pool of approximately 30 lawyers with diverse general IP experience within our Disputes Practice. Furthermore, our affiliation with the Rajah & Tann Asia network grants us access to a broad spectrum of IP lawyers across the Southeast Asia region. As recognised by the Singapore-based Asian Legal Business magazine, we proudly hold a position among Indonesia’s top three law firms.
