Intellectual Property

Our rapidly expanding IP practice is making a significant impact in an area of law in Indonesia traditionally dominated by boutique firms, which have typically focused narrowly on specific aspects rather than the broader 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 equally adept in both the contentious and non-contentious aspects of IP. We represent clients across the entire economic spectrum, including blue-chip local and foreign investors, state-owned enterprises, foundations, and tech start-ups.

IP law in Indonesia has come a long way since the days when domain squatting and other abuses were widespread, although new abuses continue to arise from time to time. The country’s IP regime is now broadly compliant with TRIPs and WTO requirements, and the government’s determination to further enhance it is evident from the passage of the comprehensive new Copyright Law in 2014 and the imminent ratification of the Madrid Protocol.

With a dedicated team of seven IP lawyers, we also provide 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 Southeast Asia. As recognised by the Singapore-based Asian Legal Business magazine, we proudly hold a position among Indonesia’s top three law firms.
