How to register a trademark in Indonesia

  1. Search the DJKI database (PDKI) for earlier identical or similar marks.
  2. File the application online through the DJKI trademark e-filing system in Indonesian, listing goods and services by Nice class.
  3. DJKI checks formal requirements and assigns a filing date.
  4. The application is published for two months, during which third parties may file an objection.
  5. A DJKI examiner carries out substantive examination, taking any objections into account.
  6. If approved, the mark is registered and a certificate is issued; if refused, the applicant may respond and then appeal to the Trademark Appeal Commission.

Good to know in Indonesia

  • Objections (oppositions) are filed during the publication period, before substantive examination is completed.
  • Official fees were revised by Government Regulation (PP) No. 30 of 2026, reported to take effect on 1 August 2026: press reports quoting DJKI give Rp 2,800,000 per class for general applicants and an unchanged Rp 500,000 per class for micro and small enterprises.
  • Micro and small enterprises (UMK) pay a substantially reduced official filing fee.
  • Madrid Protocol designations of Indonesia are examined by DJKI under the same substantive rules as national applications.
