Our Company, Biro Oktroi Roosseno is one of the oldest and a leading intellectual property firm in Indonesia. Formerly focused solely on Patents and Trademarks, today the firm is recognized as a full-service law firm.
Established in Jakarta in 1951 by Prof. Dr. Ir. R. Roosseno Soerjohadikoesoemo, and Mr. Yland, a prominent Dutch lawyer. Biro Oktroi Roosseno was founded out of Roosseno’s concerns for education, and encouragement of new inventions and appreciation to the creative work of others in intellectual property. It was Roosseno who initially had his inventions patented. This notable example encouraged more and more patents through Biro Oktroi Roosseno and in the long run intellectual property rights became more important than ever. It is also a fact that some of Indonesia’s IP consultant’s executives were once working for Biro Oktroi Roosseno, establishing the firm as a prominent and respected pioneering institution in the country.
Prof. Dr. Toeti Heraty Noerhadi, Roosseno’s daughter, succeeded him. Inheriting her father’s dedication, Toeti began providing assistance and donations for researches to institutions all over Indonesia, through Biro Oktroi Roosseno. The work of researches was subsequently patented at the Directorate General of Patents.
In 1987 Dr. Cita Citrawinda Noerhadi, SH, MIP, daughter of Prof. Dr. Toeti Heraty Noerhadi Roosseno joined the company, followed by another daughter, Ir. Migni Myriasandra Noerhadi, SH., MIP, MSEL in 1995. Cita left the firm in 2004, and Migni took over managing the firm and overseeing Biro Oktroi Roosseno’s day-to-day operations. Another Toeti’s daughter, Dr. Inda Citraninda Noerhadi, SS, MA, co-founder of the Indonesian Art Gallery Association (AGSI) and resource person of Indonesian cultural heritage, has also been actively involved with the firm to this day. Later, Dr. Ir. Darwin Cyril Noerhadi, MBA, son of Toeti, joined the firm as business strategy and investment advisor.
