Understanding the Purpose of Product Trademark Creation for Business Protection and Growth
Product trademark creation is the process of developing a unique identity to distinguish products from competitors in the market. A trademark may include names, logos, symbols, letters, numbers, images, or combinations used in commercial activities.
In Indonesia, trademark protection is regulated under Law Number 20 of 2016 concerning Trademarks and Geographical Indications. Registration is handled by the Directorate General of Intellectual Property (DJKI).
A trademark helps businesses establish identity while providing legal protection against unauthorized use.
