Prosecution
As a key jurisdiction within Southeast Asia and a member of the G20, Indonesia continues to be of increasing importance for patent protection. While procedural efficiencies have improved in recent years, the Indonesian patent system retains particular practices and nuances that require careful navigation.Patent prosecution in Indonesia is governed primarily by Patent Law No. 13 of 2016 and involves both legal and technical considerations throughout the application process.
KANA-IP advises on patent prosecution matters, including:
- Preliminary assessment of patentability and registrability.
- Advising on filing strategies and timing.
- Preparing and filing trademark applications.
- Monitoring examination and procedural stages.
- Advising on and responding to office actions.

Such matters may take the form of:
- Cease and desist correspondence.
- Third-party oppositions.
- Post-grant challenges.
- Negotiations between parties.
- Coordination with litigation proceedings where required.
KANA-IP advises on these matters with a focus on clarity of legal position and practical resolution.
