Understanding Trademark Creation
Trademark creation is the process of developing a unique identity used to distinguish a company’s products or services from others. A trademark may consist of names, logos, symbols, letters, numbers, or combinations that represent a business.
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).
By creating and registering a trademark, businesses gain exclusive rights and legal protection over their brand identity.
