Indonesia Introduces New Official Fees Effective 2 August 2026: What Trademark and Patent Owners Need to Know
Indonesia will implement a new schedule of official Intellectual Property (IP) fees beginning 2 August 2026, affecting several Trademark services while also introducing new official fees for certain Patent procedures.

Trademark: Official Fees Increased Across Multiple Services The most notable changes concern Trademark-related official fees, with increases ranging from 40% to over 57%, depending on the service. Below are the percentage increases for the affected services: Trademark Services Increase Trademark Application Filing +55.6% Madrid Protocol Designation Filing +50% Trademark Renewal +55.6% Trademark Renewal During Grace Period +55.6% Opposition Filing +50% Appeal Against Trademark Decisions +50% Recordal of Change of Name and Address +50% Recordal of Assignment +57.1% Trademark License Recordal +40% Madrid Transformation +40% Businesses and individuals with multiple Trademarks that are scheduled to be filed soon may wish to file as soon as possible before the regulation takes effect. Patent: New Official Fees Introduced for Additional Procedures Unlike the Trademark system, Indonesia’s Patent fee revisions are relatively limited. The new official fees for several additional Patent actions that previously did not have dedicated fees. These include: The introduction of an Early Substantive Examination option is particularly noteworthy, as it provides applicants with an additional mechanism to potentially obtain Patent protection more quickly when commercial timing is critical. Strategic Considerations for IP Owners With these changes approaching, businesses should consider reviewing their Indonesian IP portfolios and filing strategies. For Trademark owners, it may be worthwhile to: For Patent applicants, the newly introduced procedures provide greater procedural flexibility, particularly for applicants seeking to revive certain applications or expedite examination. Looking Ahead Although official fees are increasing for many Trademark services, the revisions also reflect Indonesia’s continued efforts to modernize and strengthen its Intellectual Property administration.

Settle the outstanding annuities, or no new patent filings will be allowed – the DGIP’s latest move to ensure all debts are settled
In the past few days, the Directorate General of Intellectual Property of the Republic of Indonesia (the DGIP) has sent notices to foreign patent owners with regard to the patent holders’ obligations to pay the outstanding annuities within 6 months. Failure to pay up the ‘debt’ caused by the outstanding annuities will result in the refusal of new patent applications. This surprising move by the DGIP has made several patent holders wondering whether the payment of the outstanding annuities will actually have any effect for the future patent applications by the patent holders.

Requirements In order to file a Trademark in Fiji, we need the following documents/information in order to file the application: A list of the goods on which the applicant proposes to use its trademark; An electronic image of the trademark; A signed original of the Authorisation of Agent; A completed form of the Information Sheet; Filing details including the proper name, address, and occupation of the applicant; If the local application is to be UK-based, we will also need a certified copy of the United Kingdom registration certificate issued by the UK Comptroller General.

The Use of Registered Patents by the Government: The Indonesian Perspective
Several patent registrations are possible to be used by the Government of the Republic of Indonesia as regulated under Article 109 to 120 of the Indonesian Patent Law. However, there are 2 main determinants that will need to be met first: The patent is related to national security and defence, such as explosive materials, firearms, and explosive ammunition; or There is an urgent need to use the patent for the benefit of the people of the Republic of Indonesia. For instance, in the event of an epidemic of a disease where the cure may only be possible by using registered patents; in the field of agriculture, the use of registered patents by the Government may be needed to counter crop failure caused by pests and/or natural disasters. The use of registered patents by the Government should also be established by a Presidential Decree. The use should also be done with no profit gaining purpose in mind and it is only limited within a certain period. Please note that the use may be extended unilaterally by the Government. The extension should be supported by the recommendation from relevant ministries. For instance, if it is related to health issues, then the extension of the use of registered patents by the Government can only be done after receiving a recommendation from the Ministry of Health. The Patent Holders will always be kept in the loop with regard to the use of their patents in Indonesia by the Government since the Government will send the copy of the Presidential Decree to the Patent Holders. The use of registered patents by the Government related to national security and defence include: Firearms; Ammunitions Military grade explosives; Interceptions; Surveillance; Espionage; Encoding device and analysis encoding devices; Other country’s defence and security process and/or devices. Whereas the use of registered patents by the Government in the event of an urgent need for the benefit of the people include: Pharmaceutical and/or biotechnology products with unaffordable price tags and/or which are needed to counter an epidemic that may result in fatalities of many people, cause significant disabilities, and is considered as a global health issue; Chemical and/or biotechnology products related to agriculture that are needed for food security; Animal drugs that are needed to counter plaguing pests and/or animal diseases; and/or Process and/or products to counter natural disasters and/or environmental disasters. Please note that during the use of registered patents related to national security and defence, the Patent Holders will not be able to exercise its exclusive rights to use, sell, import, lease, assign, produce, and prohibit other parties without their prior consent. Whereas the use of registered patents by the Government in the event of an urgent need for the benefit of the people does not diminish the rights of the Patent Holders to use, sell, import, lease, assign, produce, and prohibit other parties without their prior consent. Registered patents which can threaten or endanger Indonesia’s defence and national security can only be used and exercised by the Government. If the Government has not used them yet, the Patent Holders should obtain prior approval to use from the Government. During the use of the registered patents by the Government, the Patent Holders is exempted from paying annuity fees for its patents. The use of registered patents by the Government is recorded in the Patent Gazette and is published in electronic or conventional media. Please note that their decision to use registered patents is final and binding, hence no possible legal avenue to dispute or challenge the use of registered patents by the Patent Holders.

Reviving a Lapsed Patent Registration in Indonesia
The Directorate General of the Intellectual Property Office of the Republic of Indonesia has announced that all lapsed patent registrations due to non-payment are able to be revived. This decision is based on several considerations, namely the goodwill of the patent holders to settle the debt arising from the non-payment, untimely and even missed delivery of the notifications from the Patent Office to the patent holders and/or to the legal proxy in Indonesia, lack of information disclosure by the patent office regarding the payment deadlines, and quite often the non-payment was not due to the patent holder’s fault. Another reason, and perhaps the main reason, for the decision is the need of the government to collect the debt that has arisen from the non-payment. While this can be seen as a golden opportunity to revive lapsed patents, the patent holders should also take into account the payment information of the lapsed patent registrations that have been passed on from the Patent Office to the State Wealth Office and Auction Office under the Ministry of Finance. It is not uncommon to find discrepancies in information about how much the patent holders should pay that is held by the Patent Office and by the State Wealth Office and Auction Office under the Ministry of Finance. It is imperative that double checking with both institutions should be done before making a full payment and to check if it is still possible to revive a patent registration that has been transferred from the Patent Office to the State Wealth Office and Auction Office under the Ministry of Finance. In accordance to the decision by the Directorate General of Intellectual Property of the Republic of Indonesia, the revival can be done by filing the letter of revival request which should be accompanied by the proof of payment of the debt and the interests. However, the patent holder should also submit a written undertaking stating that they will not take any legal action against another party for infringement of the revived patent during the lapsed period. Given the lack of guideline to whether the other party should immediately stop using the lapsed patent once the revival request has been filed and approved, this particular requirement leaves grave concerns for the parties who have already used the patent with an assumption that the patent has lapsed due to non-payment. Should you have any query please do not hesitate to contact us at [email protected].
