Trademark Certificate or Halal Certificate? Which One Should You Apply for First? - AFFA IPR

商标已经准备好,产品也即将上市,但企业应该先办理哪一项:商标注册、印度尼西亚食品药品监督管理局(BPOM)许可,还是清真认证(Halal Certification)? 三者具有不同的功能,并适用不同的法律法规和要求。但从企业品牌保护的角度来看,商标注册应当优先进行,之后再根据产品类别办理印度尼西亚**食品药品监督管理局(Badan Pengawas Obat dan Makanan,简称 BPOM)**的相关许可及清真认证。 为什么应当优先注册商标? 印度尼西亚实行商标**“申请在先”(first-to-file)原则。根据印度尼西亚《2016年第20号商标和地理标志法》第3条**,商标权在商标获得注册后取得。 这意味着,仅仅在产品上使用某个名称、取得产品上市许可,甚至已经取得清真认证,都不会自动赋予企业对该商标的专用权。 如果商标尚未注册,企业可能面临相当大的风险。 例如,一家公司已经在产品生产、包装、市场推广、BPOM 许可及清真认证方面投入了大量资金,之后却发现其正在使用的商标已经由其他主体注册。 在这种情况下,公司可能面临法律纠纷,甚至可能不得不更改产品名称、包装、宣传材料,以及其他使用该品牌标识的商业文件。 因此,企业最好在产品开发的早期阶段就进行商标检索并提交商标注册申请。 什么时候需要办理 BPOM 许可? BPOM 许可与商标注册属于不同的法律和监管体系。 商标主要用于保护产品的品牌标识,而 BPOM 则负责监管特定产品的安全性、质量、功效、标签以及市场流通。 一般而言,受 BPOM 监管的产品包括: 但这并不意味着所有食品都必须取得 BPOM 注册编号。 部分食品可以免于 BPOM 注册要求,例如保质期少于七天的食品、即食食品、作为原材料使用且不直接销售给最终消费者的食品,以及符合**家庭工业加工食品生产承诺履行认证(SPP-IRT)**制度的特定产品。 与商标有关的要求也可能因产品类别而有所不同。因此,商标注册证并非在所有情况下都是申请 BPOM 注册的前提条件。 不过,产品名称或商标仍然是产品注册以及产品标签上的重要识别信息。 那么清真认证呢? 清真认证义务并不适用于所有在印度尼西亚市场销售的商品。 根据印度尼西亚**《2024年第42号政府条例——清真产品保障领域实施条例》**,强制性清真认证将按照不同产品类别分阶段实施。...

Trademark Assignment Procedures in Indonesia - AFFA IPR

尽管商标权可以每10年续展一次,但商标的所有权并不一定始终属于同一主体。在企业经营过程中,商标权可能因公司或资产买卖、赠与、继承、企业重组等原因,从一方转让给另一方。 然而,仅有买卖协议或转让协议并不足够。商标所有权的转让需要特定的法律文件,该文件不仅应明确原商标权利人与新商标权利人之间的权利转移,而且相关转让证明还需要向印度尼西亚知识产权总局(Directorate General of Intellectual Property,DGIP)办理备案。 那么,为了使商标所有权的变更正式记录在印度尼西亚的商标数据库中,需要准备哪些材料?具体程序又是怎样的?本文将为您提供完整指南。 什么是商标权转让? 商标权转让,是指商标的所有权从原权利人转移至另一方。商标权转让需要与商标许可(Trademark License)加以区分。 在商标许可的情况下,商标所有权原则上仍属于商标权利人,仅根据许可协议授予另一方使用该商标的权利。而在商标权转让中,商标的所有权本身将转移至受让方(Assignee)。 因此,对于从其他主体取得商标的企业而言,办理商标所有权变更备案,是确保商标行政记录及权利人信息与实际权属情况保持一致的重要环节。 办理商标权转让所需文件 申请商标权转让备案时,需要准备以下文件: 上述文件准备完成后,将由知识产权顾问通过印度尼西亚知识产权总局(DGIP)的商标系统办理商标权转让备案申请。...

Indonesia–China Patent Prosecution Highway: A Faster Route for Patent Examination in Indonesia - AFFA IPR

希望同时在中国和印度尼西亚获得专利保护的申请人,现在可以利用印度尼西亚知识产权总局(Directorate General of Intellectual Property,DGIP)与中国国家知识产权局(China National Intellectual Property Administration,CNIPA)之间实施的专利审查高速路(Patent Prosecution Highway,PPH)试点项目。 根据该项目,符合条件的申请人可以利用CNIPA作出的审查结果,请求DGIP对相应的印度尼西亚专利申请进行加快审查。 什么是DGIP–CNIPA专利审查高速路(PPH)? PPH机制允许参与合作的专利局利用另一专利局已经完成的审查工作。 在DGIP–CNIPA...

From 3 to 42 Recordations: The Growing Role of Indonesian Customs in Trademark Protection - AFFA IPR

在**印度尼西亚知识产权总局(Directorate General of Intellectual Property,DGIP)注册商标,是在印度尼西亚获得法律保护的重要基础。然而,对于面临假冒商品通过进出口渠道进入或离开印度尼西亚风险的商标权利人而言,还可以通过向印度尼西亚海关与消费税总局(Directorate General of Customs and Excise,DGCE)**进行知识产权海关备案,进一步加强商标保护。 通过海关备案,知识产权相关信息以及正品的识别特征将被录入海关数据库。对于已经完成备案的商标和著作权,DGCE可以启动依职权(ex-officio)执法机制,使海关能够主动对涉嫌侵犯知识产权的货物采取扣留、暂时中止放行以及实物查验等措施。 这一机制的重要性正日益凸显。特别是印度尼西亚海关已明确表示,自2025年起,只有相关商标已在DGCE系统完成备案,海关才能主动对涉嫌侵犯知识产权的货物采取扣留措施。该备案程序不收取费用,有效期为一年。 那么,是否有越来越多的商标权利人开始利用这一机制? 根据DGCE通过其**海关备案数据仪表板(Customs Recordation...
