Trademark Renewal in Indonesia

A trademark registration in Indonesia is valid for 10 years from the filing date. Trademark owners must renew their registration every 10 years to maintain protection.

To ensure uninterrupted protection and avoid penalties, trademark renewal in Indonesia should be completed:

• Up to 6 months before the renewal deadline
• Within the six-month grace period after expiration (late renewal fees apply)
• Failure to renew within the grace period results in cancellation

To process a trademark renewal in Indonesia, the following must be submitted to the Directorate General of Intellectual Property (DGIP):

• Trademark registration number
• Applicant’s details
• Proof of use in Indonesia
• Payment of renewal fees

Unlike some countries, Indonesia requires proof of use to complete the renewal process. If the trademark is not actively used, it may be subject to cancellation.

Ensure your registration details remain current:

• Ownership changes: Notify DGIP if the trademark has been transferred
• Business details: Keep addresses and names updated to avoid missing important notifications

Avoid these common errors that lead to the loss of trademark rights:

• Missing the trademark renewal deadline in Indonesia
• Not providing proof of use as required under local law
• Assuming reminders will be sent by DGIP
• Failing to update ownership or contact information

By avoiding these mistakes, you can ensure your brand stays protected under Indonesian law.

You can still renew your trademark in Indonesia within a six-month grace period by paying an additional fee. Failure to do so will result in cancellation.
