Q & A

Why is it important to register a trademark as a business owner?

Registering a trademark is crucial for protecting the brand identity of a business. It grants exclusive rights to the owner, preventing others from using a similar or identical trademark.

What percentage of trademark registrations in Indonesia are rejected?

Approximately 75% of trademark registrations in Indonesia are rejected.

When is the ideal time to register a trademark?

The ideal time to register a trademark is as soon as possible. The sooner it’s registered, the better, as trademark protection is based on the principle of 'first to file'—whoever files first has the right to use the trademark.

How can I check if my trademark is unique before registering it?

You can check the uniqueness of your trademark by using the search feature on mebiso.com/ceek. Simply enter the trademark name, and the tool will show if any similar trademarks are already registered.

What are the differences between registering a trademark as an 'UMKM' (small business) and as a general business?

The main differences between UMKM and general business trademark registrations lie in the requirements and costs. UMKM registration costs IDR 500,000, while the general business registration costs IDR 1,800,000. However, UMKM registration requires additional documents, such as a recommendation letter from a local government agency and a statement letter from the business.

What documents are needed for UMKM trademark registration?

For UMKM trademark registration, you need two additional documents: a recommendation letter from a government agency like the Department of Cooperatives and SMEs, and a statement letter signed by the applicant, declaring that they are a micro or small business.

What are the two types of trademark applicants?

There are two types of trademark applicants: individual applicants (personal registration) and company applicants (PT or other entities). The choice depends on whether you want the trademark to belong solely to you or be an asset of the company.

What is the advantage of registering a trademark as an individual rather than a company?

Registering as an individual means that you will be the sole owner of the trademark, and you alone can control its use or grant permissions for others to use it.

What is the advantage of registering a trademark under a company name?

Registering a trademark under a company name ensures that the trademark becomes an asset of the company, which helps prevent disputes over ownership, especially if there are multiple business partners.

How long does the trademark registration process take?

The trademark registration process typically takes between 7 to 18 months to complete.

What are the four main phases in the trademark registration process?

The four main phases in the trademark registration process are: 1) Formal examination (to check document completeness), 2) Announcement (to allow public objections), 3) Substantive examination (to ensure no conflict with existing trademarks), and 4) Issuance of the certificate (when the trademark is officially registered).

How can I monitor the status of my trademark registration?

You can monitor the status of your trademark registration through the monitoring feature on mebiso.com/monitoring, which sends notifications via WhatsApp when there are any updates or changes to the registration status.

What happens if I miss a notification regarding my trademark registration?

If you miss a notification or fail to respond to a request for objection, your trademark registration may be rejected. It's important to regularly check the status to avoid missing critical updates.
