Professional Service for Creating and Registering Trademarks in Indonesia
Trademark creation services help businesses develop and legally register a trademark used to identify their goods or services in the market. A trademark may consist of words, logos, symbols, letters, numbers, or combinations that distinguish a company’s products from competitors.
In Indonesia, trademark protection is regulated under Law Number 20 of 2016 concerning Trademarks and Geographical Indications. Trademark registration is handled by the Directorate General of Intellectual Property (DJKI) under the Ministry of Law and Human Rights.
Using professional trademark creation services helps ensure that the brand created is unique, legally compliant, and eligible for official registration.

A registered trademark becomes an important intellectual property asset for business growth.

Trademark Creation and Registration Process
The process of creating and registering a trademark generally involves several stages.
1. Trademark Consultation and Planning
The first step is consulting with professionals to determine the trademark concept.
This stage usually includes:
a. Selecting a trademark name
b. Designing a logo or brand symbol
c. Determining the correct trademark class
2. Trademark Search
A trademark search is conducted to determine whether the proposed mark already exists or is similar to registered trademarks.
Benefits of conducting a trademark search include:
- Avoiding conflicts with existing trademarks.
- Reducing the risk of rejection.
- Ensuring the trademark has strong distinctiveness.
3. Filing the Trademark Application
After confirming availability, the trademark application can be submitted to DJKI.
This process includes:
- Completing the trademark application form.
- Uploading the trademark label and supporting documents.
- Paying the official registration fees.
The filing date becomes the priority date for trademark protection.
4. Formality Examination and Publication
DJKI will conduct an administrative examination to ensure the application documents are complete.
If approved, the trademark will be published in the Official Trademark Gazette, allowing third parties to submit objections.
5. Substantive Examination
During this stage, DJKI evaluates:
- Distinctiveness of the trademark.
- Similarity with existing trademarks.
- Compliance with legal regulations.
6. Issuance of Trademark Certificate
If the application passes all stages, DJKI will issue a Trademark Certificate.
Trademark protection is valid for 10 years from the filing date and can be renewed according to Indonesian law.
