Filing and prosecution work is carried out on a fixed-fee basis. We seek to provide the most efficient, transparent and competitively priced service available in Indonesia.

Trademark

Third party registration of foreign trademark is a serious problem in Indonesia, that is why it is very important for businesses to register their trademarks here at the earliest opportunity. A trademark is protected for 10 years from the date of filing the application, and it can be continuously renewed for the same period.

Our team has wide experience in handling trademark filing/prosecution in Indonesia. Our services cover searching and pre-filing advice, handling new trademark applications, renewal applications, registering trademark assignments and changes of name or address.

Patent

Patent in Indonesia can be standard – for products and processes (new method of doing things or technical improvement on how certain objects work) – or simple patent – for products only. Once it is granted, a patent is protected in Indonesia for 20 years from the date of filing the application. It cannot be renewed.

Our professionals provide the full range of patent services and are involved in counseling on patentability of invention, drafting patent claims, preparing and filing patent applications, translating patent documents from English to Bahasa Indonesia as mandatorily required, attending to the annual maintenance or annuity fees payment for Indonesian patents, registering the assignment and changes at Indonesian Patent Office, monitoring and updating current status report of patent applications.

Industrial Design

Industrial designs are registered with the Industrial Designs Office. An industrial design is protected in Indonesia for 10 years from the date of filing the application. It cannot be renewed.

Our team provides counseling on the industrial design registration, preparing and filing industrial design applications, registering the assignment and changes at Indonesian Design Office, monitoring and updating current status report of industrial design applications.

Copyright

Indonesia is a signatory to the Berne Convention on the Protection of Literary and Artistic Works, therefore works of the citizens of member states, or works first published in a Berne Union country, will automatically enjoy protection in Indonesia. Given that, if the works were made by the citizen of the member states, it is actually not necessary to register copyright at the Indonesian Copyright Office. Many people, however, choose to do so, or leave dated samples of the copyright work with a third party, as a first step to proving ownership.

Our team provides counseling on the scope of protecting of copyrights, preparing and prosecuting applications and registering copyright assignments and changes of name or address.

  When a website is “live” and running, it is now open public and free for everyone to access it, and this freedom may attract unwanted activities done by the public to the website such as hacking activity and other destructive activities; therefore, it is very important to monitor the website diligently to ensure the website is running accordingly.

  Making sure a website is up-to-date is a crucial thing. The high “bounce back” rate is normally caused by visitors feel the website is not “active” due to old contents. Website needs to be up-to-date to maintain its integrity. Makna’s dedicated project manager will help the clients in maintaining and updating the content of their websites.

  Many websites fail because of the lack of backup processes. A website is never really “hack proof”, and never be “100% bug free”, therefore when things go wrong, backup is extremely crucial. We offer periodic backup processes to ensure that clients’ websites are always safe.
• CMS Update
  Any type of system needs to be always up-to-date to its current version.
