Industrial Design Registration in Indonesia

With iGERENT, the cost to register an industrial design in Indonesia is USD 900. This all-inclusive fee covers the official government charges as well as the preparation and filing of your application for one design. By working with our experts, you can secure protection smoothly and avoid unexpected costs in the future.

In Indonesia, the registration process for an industrial design typically takes around 6 to 12 months, depending on the workload of the Directorate General of Intellectual Property (DGIP) and whether any objections or formal issues arise. At iGERENT, we prepare your application carefully to minimize delays and ensure your design is registered as quickly as possible.

In Indonesia, industrial design protection lasts for 10 years from the filing date. Unlike in many other countries, this term cannot be renewed or extended—once the 10 years have passed, the design falls into the public domain. At iGERENT, we help you plan your IP strategy so you can make the most of your design rights during the protection period.

In Indonesia, there are no annuities or renewal fees for industrial designs. The registration provides a fixed protection period of 10 years from the filing date, and once this term expires, the design cannot be renewed. At iGERENT, we help you manage your portfolio and plan ahead so you can maximize the value of your design rights during this period.

In Indonesia, industrial design applications go through a formal examination only. The Directorate General of Intellectual Property (DGIP) checks whether the application meets the filing requirements, such as proper documentation, representations, and payment of fees. The DGIP does not assess novelty or originality during examination—these aspects can only be challenged later in court if disputes arise. At iGERENT, we prepare your application carefully so it passes the formal checks without unnecessary delays.

In Indonesia, you must submit clear and complete representations of the design. These are usually line drawings or photographs that show the product from multiple views (front, back, top, bottom, and sides) so the overall appearance is fully disclosed. The images must not include text, dimensions, or distracting backgrounds. At iGERENT, we help you prepare drawings that comply with the standards of the Directorate General of Intellectual Property (DGIP) to avoid delays or refusals.

In Indonesia, industrial design searches can be carried out through the database of the Directorate General of Intellectual Property (DGIP). However, searches are often challenging because designs are classified by product categories and visual characteristics rather than simple keywords. At iGERENT, we conduct professional searches on your behalf, helping identify possible conflicts before you file—saving you time, money, and the risk of disputes in the future.

Indonesia grants a six-month priority period for industrial design applications. This means that if you first filed your design in another country that is a member of the Paris Convention, you can claim that same filing date in Indonesia as long as you apply within six months. At iGERENT, we help you manage these deadlines so your design rights are protected internationally without missing the priority window.

In Indonesia, the official fees for industrial design registration must be paid at the time of filing the application. If any additional official charges are required later in the process (for example, for publication or issuance), they must be settled before the design is granted. With iGERENT, we handle these payments on your behalf so your application isn’t delayed by missed deadlines.

In Indonesia, industrial design protection applies only to the appearance of a product, such as its shape, configuration, or ornamentation. It does not cover the technical function of the product, features dictated solely by utility, or designs that are contrary to public order, morality, or national interest. At iGERENT, we help you understand what aspects of your design can be protected so you can make the most of your rights.

Yes. In Indonesia, you can file a multiple application that includes more than one design, as long as all the designs are related to the same class of products under the Locarno Classification. If the designs belong to different classes, separate applications are required. At iGERENT, we guide you on how to structure your filings so you can save costs while ensuring comprehensive protection of your creations.

No. In Indonesia, industrial design protection is granted for a fixed term of 10 years from the filing date, and it cannot be renewed or extended. Once this period has expired, the design automatically falls into the public domain and cannot be restored. At iGERENT, we help you plan ahead so you can maximize the value of your design rights during the protection period.
