On June 4, 2024, AIPPI Indonesia Group held an international webinar entitled “Trademark Protection Procedures in Japan and Indonesia.” The webinar attracted a diverse audience, including Intellectual Property Consultants, Law Firm Staff, Small and Medium Business entrepreneurs, Researchers from Government Research Institutions and Private Research Institutions, and general public observers of IP, especially Trademarks.

Mrs. Migni Myriasandra, Managing Director of Biro Oktroi Roosseno, as the Chairwoman of the Webinar committee, stated in her opening speech, “This webinar aims to explain the important aspects of trademark registration and protection, particularly focusing on the procedures and challenges faced in both Japan and Indonesia.”

Mr. Harry Wirawan, an Indonesian Intellectual Property from Biro Oktroi Roosseno, was the first speaker in the webinar. In the second session, Mr. Koji MURAI, a Japanese Patent and Trademark Attorney, also presented an interesting topic.

The discussions were centered around the trademark examination stage, addressing scenarios where trademark applications face refusal from the Directorate of Trademarks and Geographical Indications in Indonesia or at the Japan Patent Office. The speakers also provided insights on handling objections from third parties regarding trademark applications.

Mr. Wirawan elaborated on the trademark registration procedures in Indonesia, emphasizing the nuances of the process and related office actions. He also explained the preparation and drafting process of trademark responses/oppositions.

In the second session, the webinar explained about the Japanese trademark system. Practical strategies for overcoming refusal grounds at the Japanese Patent Office were also highlighted, providing attendees valuable tips.

This webinar is an essential platform for knowledge exchange and capacity building in trademark regulation between Indonesia and Japan. The event aims to empower SMEs and other attendees to navigate trademark challenges effectively, fostering a more robust IP ecosystem by equipping them with practical insights and strategies.

This webinar reinforces the importance of trademark protection and is concerned with boosting economic growth and encouraging innovation in both countries.

For SMEs, having a registered trademark shields them from infringement and enhances credibility and consumer trust by signifying the authenticity and origin of their products or services. Moreover, trademark ownership facilitates market expansion, boosts competitiveness, and ensures legal safeguards under the law.
