Intellectual property is all we’ve done for over 25 years.

AFFA was founded in July 1999 by the late Achmad Fatchy. He believed a firm does its best work when it does one thing exceptionally well, so we do not dabble. Since day one, intellectual property has been our whole focus, and that depth is what clients rely on when their brands, inventions and ideas are at stake in Indonesia and Timor-Leste.

Local Depth – Global Reach

We work every day with foreign counsel and international brand owners who need a partner on the ground they can trust. They also count on us to be responsive and to know how things really work at the IP Office. Our network of associates abroad also lets us protect Indonesian clients’ rights in other markets.

We are active members of INTA, ECTA, AIPLA, MARQUES, LES, ASEAN IPA, AKHKI and INTERTY, so we’re part of the global IP conversation, not watching it from the sidelines.

Beyond IP Registration

Protecting a brand often means more than filing and prosection. We also handle:

1. ⁠Licensing and Franchise Agreements: Drafting and Recordation
2. ⁠IP Investigations
3. ⁠BPOM (Food and Drug) Registrations
4. ⁠Halal Certifications
5. ⁠Company Incorporation for Local and Foreign Entities
6. ⁠Domain Name Registrations
7. ⁠General Commercial Law Advisories
