Intellectual Property

关于在印度尼西亚将声音和音乐注册为商标的提示 随着全权贸易和技术进步快速发展，商标保护的需求也在不断增加。自2008年以来，世界知识产权组织（WIPO）成员国已经承认“新型标志”的存在，这导致商标分为两种类型，即可见商标和不可见商标。   可见商标包括三维标志、颜色标志、全息图、标语、电影和书籍标题、运动或多媒体标志、位置标志和手势标志。 同时，不可见商标可通过眼睛以外的感官感知。例如，耳朵听到的声音标志，鼻子闻到的嗅觉标志，舌头尝到的味觉标志，皮肤感觉到的质地或感觉标志。   声音标志在印度尼西亚的法律依据 印度尼西亚通过阐述关于商标和地理标志的2016年第20号法律（《商标法》）第1条第1款所述的商标定义，承认了非传统商标的存在，具体如下：   商标是一种标识，可用图像、徽标、名称、单词、字母、数字或2（二）维和/或3（三）维的颜色排列、声音、全息图或2（二）个或以上这些元素的组合进行图形展示，以区分个人或法律实体在商品和/或服务贸易活动中生产的商品和/或提供的服务。   对于要注册的声音标志，《商标法》第4条和法律和人权部第67/2016号条例第3条要求附上显示标志特征的附件；对于声音标志，需要附上符号和录音。但是，如果声音标志不能以符号形式显示，则附件应是声谱图。   声音标志的类型： 1. 唱出/说出的语言元素 例如，“Auo-uo”这个声音就是人猿泰山喊出来的。   2. 音乐元素 例如，每次打开装有Windows操作系统的PC/笔记本电脑时出现的音乐。   3. 逼真的声音 例如，影片开始前，在米高梅标志出现时，狮子咆哮的声音。   4. 其他声音 例如，刚刚启动的哈雷戴维森摩托车发动机发出的轰鸣声。   那么，如何将它们注册为商标呢？ 提示如下： 1. 附上您的图形表示 以视觉方式显示的符号和声谱图可区分不同的声音标志。 声音标志的符号示例 声音标志的声谱图示例 2. 附上带清晰说明的符号 不含语言元素的声音标志符号 说明： “该声音标志由C调的五音旋律组成。该旋律由八分之一C音、八分之一E音、八分之一D音、十六分之一B音、十六分之一C音和一个半C音组成。”   含语言元素的声音标志符号 说明： ”该声音标志由单词“HISAMITSU”和四个音符 （E、A、E和F）的声音组成。前三个音符是八分音符，后一个音符是八分半音符”   3. 对于唱出/说出的标志，语言元素对检验有较大影响 语言元素是指说出的声音，类似上述HISAMITSU标志的示例。 如果说出的单词有很大差别，声音就具有很强的区分能力。假设两个不同的语言元素（HISAMITSU和WECANSEEYOU）以相同方式标注。在这种情况下，HI-SA-MIT-SU的发声就像是WE-CAN-SEE-YOU；因此不是不同的声音标志。 如果语言元素相同，但伴有非语言元素（例如不同的音乐声），区分值将仍然存在，但要弱于语言元素完全不同时的情况。   4. 对于含音乐元素的声音标志，不同的旋律对检验有较大影响 如果申请注册的声音标志只包含音乐元素，将不同的旋律作为区分值。 与仅在其他乐器、节奏和旋律方面存在差异相比，越多样化越好。   5. 对于逼真的声音，可通过不同的类型、节奏和旋律来检验区分力度。 如果声音标志是逼真的声音，例如米高梅的狮子咆哮声，为了区分，另一只狮子的咆哮声必须具有不同的节奏和旋律和声级。 例如，狮子的嗓音（例如，尖叫或哭泣的节奏较慢）也具有区分力度。   您希望注册哪种声音标志来支持您的企业，让它在市场上更加引人注目、更有区分力呢？请确保您满足以上所有标准。 如果您对印度尼西亚或国外的语音标志有任何疑问或需要其他信息，包括查询要注册的标志是否已被其他方注册，请随时通过[email protected]联系我们。 来源： 印度尼西亚知识产权局

Tips for Registering Sound and Music as a Trademark in Indonesia

Intellectual Property1 Comment

Tips for Registering Sound and Music as a Trademark in Indonesia In line with the development of the need for Trademark protection following the increasingly rapid dynamics of the world of trade and technological advances, since 2008, member countries of the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) have recognized the existence of ‘New Types of Marks,’ which has resulted in the division Trademarks are divided into two types, namely Visible and Non-Visible Trademarks.   Visible Trademarks include 3-dimensional Marks, Color Marks, Holograms, Slogans, Film and Book Titles, Motion or Multimedia Signs, Position Marks, and Gesture Marks. Meanwhile, Non-Visible Trademarks can be perceived through senses other than the eyes. For example, Sound Marks that the ear can recognize, Olfactory Marks that the nose can smell, Taste Marks that the tongue can taste, and Texture or Feel Marks that the skin can feel.   Legal Basis for Sound Marks in Indonesia Indonesia recognizes the existence of Non-Traditional Marks through the elaboration of the definition of Trademarks as stated in Article 1 Number 1 of Law Number 20 of 2016 concerning Marks and Geographical Indications (Trademark Law), as follows:   A Trademark is a sign that can be displayed graphically in the form of an image, logo, name, word, letter, number, or color arrangement in 2 (two) dimensions and/or 3 (three) dimensions, sound, hologram, or a combination of 2 (two) or more of these elements to differentiate goods and/or services produced by individuals or legal entities in goods and/or services trading activities.   For a Sound Mark to be registered, Article 4 Trademark Law and Article 3 of the Ministry of Law and Human Rights Regulation No. 67/2016 require an attachment that shows the characteristics of the Mark, and for Sound Marks, what needs to be attached is a notation and sound recording. However, if the Sound Mark cannot be displayed in the notational form, the attachment should be a sonogram.   Types of Sound Marks: 1. Sung/ Spoken Verbal Elements  For example, the sound “Auo-uo” was shouted by Tarzan.   2. Musical Elements For example, the music that appears every time we turn on the PC/Laptop with the Windows operating system.   3. True-to-life Sounds  For example, the sound of a lion roaring at the same time as the Metro Goldwyn Mayer logo appears before the film starts.   4. Other Sounds  For example, the roar of a Harley Davidson motorbike engine that has just been started.   So, how do we register them as Trademarks? Here are the tips: 1. Attach Your Graphic Representation Notations and sonograms displayed visually can differentiate between one Sound Mark and another. Example of Notation of a Sound Mark Example of Sonogram of a Sound Mark 2. Attach a Notation with a Clear Description Notation of a Sound Mark without Verbal Element Description: “The Sound Mark consists of a five-note melody in the key of C. This melody consists of one-eighth C notes, one-eighth E notes, one-eighth D notes, one-sixteenth B notes, one-sixteenth C notes joined by one and a half C notes.”   Notation of a Sound Mark with Verbal Element Description: “The Sound Mark consists of the word “HISAMITSU” and the sound of four musical notes: E, A, E, and F. The first three notes are eighth, and the last are eighth and half.”   3. For Sung/Spoken Marks, Verbal Elements Have a Big Influence on Examination What is meant by Verbal Elements is the voice that is uttered, as in the example of the HISAMITSU Mark above. If the words spoken are very different, then the sound can be considered to have great differentiating power. However, suppose two different Verbal Elements (HISAMITSU vs WECANSEEYOU) are notated the same. In that case, HI-SA-MIT-SU is performed like WE-CAN-SEE-YOU; it is not considered a different Sound Mark. If the Verbal Elements are the same but accompanied by Non-Verbal Elements, such as different musical sounds, then the differentiating value is still there, but not as big as if the Verbal Elements are entirely different.   4. For Sound Marks with Musical Elements, Different Melodies Have a Big Influence on Examination If the Sound Mark application for registration only contains Musical Elements, the distinguishing value is the different melody. The more diverse, the better, compared with the differences only being other musical instruments, tempos, and rhythms.   5. For True-to-life Sounds, Differentiating Power is Examined by Different Types, Tempos, and Rhythms. If the Sound Mark is a true-to-life sound, such as Metro Goldwyn Mayer’s lion roar, then to differentiate it, the sound of another lion’s roar must have a different tempo, rhythm, and sound level. For example, a lion’s voice, such as screaming or crying at a slower tempo, can have differentiating power.   So, what kind of Sound Mark do you want to register to support your business so that it becomes more visible and has differentiating power in the market? Make sure you can fulfill all the criteria above.   If you have questions or need other information about the Voice Mark in Indonesia or abroad, including checking whether the Mark you want to register has been previously registered by another party, please don’t hesitate to contact us via [email protected].

印度尼西亚专利法的主要拟定修改-affa-global

印度尼西亚专利法的主要拟定修改

Intellectual Property

印度尼西亚专利法的主要拟定修改 科学技术对提高竞争力和国民经济具有重要意义。 因此，印度尼西亚必须培养具有创新精神、能够适应全球发展以及对知识产权（IP）特别是专利领域有深刻理解的人力资源。   世界知识产权组织（WIPO）的研究结果显示，全球专利申请量逐年增加。这表明，包括印度尼西亚在内的国际社会需要对其创新作品进行保护，而印度尼西亚很可能通过鼓励国内创新助推经济增长，从而产生多项创新并创造出社会所需的发明。   专利权影响着经济发展，并与技术发展和掌握情况密切相关。 每生产出一种创新产品，经济价值就会不断增加。 为了使他们的技术有应用需求并实现商业化，发明家们一直在进行调查研究。如果专利成功吸引市场兴趣，其他各方自然会使用发明家们的发明。这正是公众可通过专利许可对专利加以利用之处。   目前，在印度尼西亚进行的专利申请仍以国外申请人为主。因此，印度尼西亚知识产权局（DGIP）在开展外联活动和协助编制专利说明书（专利起草），以努力改善公众服务。希望印度尼西亚的专利能够在改善与创新、研究成果、技术发明以及商品和服务贸易相关的经济和社会福利方面发挥重要作用。   修改基础 1. 哲学基础 《专利法》不仅要为社会利益提供公平保护，还要为全球经济/来自印度尼西亚内外的专利持有人提供公平保护，并遵循基于国际协定的公认标准。 2. 社会学基础 公众需要专利制度提供更多便捷服务，以应对高速的全球发展和社会创新，而这意味着必须规范对专利制度。 3. 法理基础 《专利法》中的一些条款需要通过政策进行调整，以适应国际规定，这些政策既要满足全球发展需要，又要优先考虑社会需求。   修订目的 加强对贸易产品知识产权的保护。 保证实施知识产权的程序不妨碍贸易活动。 制定监管原则和国际合作机制，以处理因假冒或盗版知识产权而进行的商品贸易。   棘手问题 1. 国家创新问题 简单专利/实用新型（第23条） 这些修改将专利获取程序从12个月缩短到6个月，以鼓励加速国内生产和经济增长。 计算机应用程序（第4条d项） 根据4.0和5.0，为鼓励经济增长而对发明进行了扩展定义，根据此定义，在计算机上实施的发明分为系统类、方法类和使用类。为明确起见，自2016年以来，与在计算机上实施的发明相关的专利申请量已增加到每年所有专利申请总数的30-40%。 二次使用和发现（第4条f项） 关于二次使用和发现，做出这些修改是因为它们阻碍医药行业的创新，特别是为了鼓励传统医药的发展和创新。 宽限期（第6条） 宽限期从6个月延长到12个月，方便所有位于印度尼西亚的发明人注册专利。   2. 国际法规的协调问题 在印度尼西亚使用产品或工艺（第20条和第20A条） 关于专利持有人实施专利的问题，增加了内容，承认将实施进口专利和许可专利视为专利持有人按照第20条的规定实施专利。   3. DGIP的专利服务问题 修改申请人资料（第25条） 做出这些修改是因为《专利法》涉及行政要求，仍然需要在专利申请的身份内容中纳入发明名称。发明名称在专利申请中必不可少，这有助于和申请号配对以保证数据的准确性。 遗传资源（第26条） 对遗传资源和/或传统知识进行了修改，以简化专利申请程序，只需发出“声明”函即可。 加速实质审查（第55A条） 考虑到在实践中，专利申请文件在长达18（十八）个月的等待过程中会变成“睡眠文件”，因此进行了更改以使申请时间表更快、更有效；通过这种方式改善服务。 实质复审（第68条和第70条） 做出这些修改是为了解决由于仍有许多申请人不了解印度尼西亚的专利申请制度和程序，以及专利申请人与专利审查员之间沟通不畅而出现的情况，同时为希望对所作决定进行复审的申请人提供更多机会。 专利年费/续展（第112、126、127、128和128A条） 做出这些修改是为了解决在续展/支付年费实践中出现的问题。   修订方向 1. 通过增加知识产权登记，鼓励国家创新 为获得所有技术领域的专利权创造机会 降低中小企业成本 2. 适应国际法，鼓励投资 使法规适应国际法 通过保护技术来保护投资者。 3. 简化规章制度，改善服务 简化专利获取程序 改进自动化系统   如果您对印度尼西亚国内外的专利注册和保护有任何疑问或需要其他信息，请通过[email protected]与我们联系。 来源： DGIP—为支持经济发展而修订与专利相关的2016年第13号法律的紧迫性

Key-Proposed-Changes-to-the-Indonesias-Patent-Law-affa

Key Proposed Changes to the Indonesia’s Patent Law

Intellectual Property

Key Proposed Changes to the Indonesia’s Patent Law Science and technology are essential in increasing competitiveness and the national economy. Therefore, Indonesia must create Human Resources that are innovative and able to adapt to developments in global phenomena, as well as have a strong understanding of Intellectual Property (IP), especially in the field of Patents.   Based on research results from the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), Patent applications worldwide continue to increase yearly. This shows that the world community needs protection for its innovative works, including Indonesia, which is very likely to produce many innovations and create inventions that society needs by encouraging domestic innovation to align with economic growth.   Patent rights impact the economy and are closely related to technological development and mastery. For every innovative product produced, there will continuously be increased economic value. Inventors always carried out research and studies so that their technology was needed and could be commercialized. If the Patent is successful in attracting market interest, it will, of course, allow other parties to use the invention they own. This is where the public can exploit the Patent through a Patent License. Currently, patent applications in Indonesia are still dominated by applicants from abroad. Therefore, the Directorate General of Intellectual Property (DGIP) strives to improve services to the public by conducting outreach and assisting in the preparation of Patent specifications (Patent Drafting). The hope is that Patents in Indonesia have a more critical role in improving the economy and social welfare related to innovation, research results, technological inventions, and trade in goods and services.   Base of Change 1. Philosophical Basis The Patent Law must provide fair protection not only for the interests of society but also for the global economy/ Patent Holders, whether from Indonesia or outside Indonesia and follow generally accepted standards based on international agreements. 2. Sociological Basis The public’s need for increased and more accessible services in the Patent regime to respond to the speed of global development and innovation in society means there is a need to organize the Patent system. 3. Juridical Basis Several provisions in the Patent Law need to be adjusted to international provisions through policies that are responsive to global development needs while still prioritizing the social needs of society.   Purposed of Amendments Increase protection of Intellectual Property Rights of traded products. Guarantee procedures for implementing Intellectual Property Rights that do not hamper trading activities. Develop regulatory principles and international cooperation mechanisms to handle trade in goods resulting from counterfeiting or piracy of Intellectual Property Rights.   Problematic Issues 1. National Innovation Issues Simple Patent/ Utility Model (Article 23) Changes were made by speeding up the Patent acquisition process from 12 months to 6 months to encourage the acceleration of domestic production and economic growth. Computer Applications (Article 4 letter d) Inventions implemented on computers are grouped into system, method, and use categories under the expanded definition of inventions carried out to encourage economic growth based on 4.0 and 5.0. For the record, since 2016, Patent Applications related to inventions implemented on computers have increased to 30-40% per year of all total patent applications. Second Use & Discovery (Article 4 letter f) Regarding Second Use and Discovery, the changes were made because they hinder innovation in the pharmaceutical sector, especially to encourage the growth and innovation of traditional medicines. Grace Period (Article 6) The Grace Period was changed by extending it from 6 to 12 months to allow all Inventors in Indonesia to register a Patent.   2. Issues of Harmonization of International Regulations Use of Products or Processes in Indonesia (Article 20 & Article 20A) Regarding the implementation of a Patent by the Patent Holder, changes are made by adding to recognize the implementation of imports and licensing as the implementation of the Patent by the Patent Holder as mandated by Article 20.   3. Patent Servicing Issues by the DGIP Changes to Applicant Data (Article 25) The changes were made because the Patent Law, which relates to administrative requirements, still needs to accommodate the title of the invention in the identity content of the Patent application.The title of the invention is essential in a Patent Application, paired with the application number for accurate data validity. Genetic Resources (Article 26) For Genetic Resources and/or Traditional Knowledge, changes have been made to simplify the Patent process by simply making a “declaration” letter. Acceleration of Substantive Examinations (Article 55A) Changes are made so that the application timeline is expected to be faster and more efficient, considering that in practice, Patent Application documents become “sleeping documents” during the waiting process for 18 (eighteen) months; in this way, services can be improved. Substantive Re-Examination (Article 68 and Article 70) The changes were made to overcome cases that occurred because there were still many Applicants who did not understand the Patent Application system and procedures in Indonesia, as well as poor communication between Patent Applicants and Patent Examiners, as well as to provide more opportunities for Applicants who wanted to review the decisions given. Patent Annuity/ Renewal (Article 112, 126, 127, 128, & 128A) Changes were made in anticipation of resolving problems that arise in the practice of fulfilling renewal/ annuity payments.   Direction of Amendments 1. Encouraging national innovation by increasing Intellectual Property Registration Opening opportunities to obtain Patent Rights for all fields of technology Cost reduction for SMEs 2. Encouraging national innovation by increasing Intellectual Property Registration Adapting Regulations to International Law Protecting investors by protecting their technology. 3. Improved services by simplifying regulations Simplifying the Patent acquisition process Improve automation systems   Should you have questions or need other information regarding patent registration and protection in Indonesia and abroad, please get in touch with us via [email protected].

Comprehensive Trademark Protection: Post-Registration Best Practices

Intellectual Property

Comprehensive Trademark Protection: Post-Registration Best Practices Even though it has offensive and defensive functions, owning a Trademark Certificate does not necessarily prevent your Trademark from being counterfeited. Moreover, if you are a market leader, there will always be irresponsible parties who want to take advantage of profits badly.   According to data from the Indonesian Anti-Counterfeiting Society (MIAP), losses suffered by producers in 2020 from counterfeit goods have reached IDR 290 trillion. Most counterfeiting comes from software and cosmetic products, resulting in state tax losses of up to hundreds of billions of Rupiah. This high rate of counterfeiting is expected in developing countries because of the “impulsive consumerism” nature of the people who want to own branded goods but are not supported by an adequate budget. And then, buying fake goods is an option, and the important thing is that they are similar and can be worn stylishly.   With a registered Trademark, you can take legal enforcement efforts by issuing a direct warning or sending a legal notice with the help of a trusted Trademark Consultant. Suppose there is still no response from the violator. In that case, you can escalate it to the police for further efforts by including initial evidence (where the counterfeit product was sold and who the reported party is). The police will then ask for an expert opinion (Trademark Examiner from Trademark Office/ DGIP). After a follow-up from the expert, the action can be continued with the prosecution, namely confiscation, as well as criminal sanctions of fines and/or imprisonment of 4-5 years. However, most of these Trademark Infringement cases can be resolved outside court, where the guilty party pays compensation and withdraws the product from the market.   However, you must ensure that you have protected your Trademark by carrying out the following comprehensive protection:   1. Apply Registration in All Relevant Classes If you have registered your coffee shop in the restaurant class and you also sell coffee drinks or coffee beans that can be purchased separately, you must also register your Trademark in the class that can protect these products. Because you want to avoid that in the future, there will be other parties who are famous for selling coffee drink products that should only be purchased at your coffee shop, right?   2. Register Your Logo as a Trademark If your business has a logo that can make it more unique and well-known in the market, then there is no need to delay its registration as a Trademark. If necessary, also register it with the colors you use so you can carry out subsequent protection strategies.   3. Increase Your Consumer Awareness In the era of social media, marketing your products and making consumers aware of your product’s presence has become more accessible. For this reason, you can carry out a series of education. Start by explaining what your logo looks like and its meaning, including the consequences if someone fakes it and branding efforts by telling how your products and/or services prioritize quality and can only be obtained through official/specific distribution channels. In this way, consumers will buy the original one for the sake of quality rather than buying a fake one, which will cause many future losses.   Should you have questions or need other information regarding Trademark registration in Indonesia and abroad, please get in touch with us via [email protected] Source: IP Talks Directorate General Intellectual Property

인도네시아의-산업디자인법-개정에-대한-8가지-변경-제안-affa-global

인도네시아의 산업디자인법 개정에 대한 8가지 변경 제안

Intellectual Property

인도네시아의 산업디자인법 개정에 대한 8가지 변경 제안 산업디자인 보호의 중요성에 대한 인도네시아의 인식은 지난 5년간 꾸준히 증가해 왔습니다. 이는 계속해서 급격히 증가하는 산업디자인의 출원 수를 보면 알 수 있습니다. 2017년 2,319건의 출원이 2019년 2,835건으로 증가했으며, 2021년에는 2,957건으로, 급기야 2022년에는 3,533건으로 출원 건수가 최고조에 달했습니다.   하지만, 비즈니스 및 창의성의 발전 때문에, 산업디자인법 2000(산업디자인법) 제31호는 개정될 필요가 있으며, 이를 통해 현재 비즈니스 관행과 보다 관련성이 있으며 더 좋은 방향으로 산업디자인을 보호할 수 있습니다.   뿐만 아니라, 이러한 개정 제안은 산업디자인의 국제적인 발전에 발맞춰 가는 것으로, 지적재산권 체계의 일환으로서, 창의성과 개혁을 더욱 권장하는 환경을 조성하는 데 도움이 됩니다. 이러한 이유로, 인도네시아 지적재산권 총국(DGIP)에서는 8가지 주요 변화를 다음과 같이 제안합니다.   1. 정의 (제1조) 현재, 산업디자인법 제1조에서는 산업디자인이 선이나 색상의 배열이나 구성, 선과 색상, 혹은 3차원이나 2차원 형태의 조합의 형태로 창조한 것으로, 미학적 인상을 제공하고 패턴 혹은 3차원이나 2차원으로 실현될 수 있으며, 제품, 상품 혹은 수공예품을 만드는 데 사용될 수 있다고 명기하고 있습니다. 하지만, 산업디자인의 발전에 따라, 보다 정확하고 견고한 정의가 필요하게 되었는데, 즉, 산업디자인권을 통해 보호되는 물체는  “미적 인상”을 주는 “제품의 외관”으로,  이것의 2차원 혹은/및 3차원으로 존재할 수 있는 특징 전체 혹은 부분이 보호받을 수 있도록 정의하는 것이 필요합니다.   2. 보호 시스템 (제2조) 산업디자인법 제2조에서는 현재 산업디자인이 등록 절차를 밟은 이후에만 보호를 받게 된다고 규정하고 있습니다. 하지만, 새로운 법안에서는 등록 절차를 밟지 않고도 단지 산업디자인을 기록함으로써 보호를 받을 수 있도록 규정하고 있습니다. 개정 상세 내용은 다음과 같습니다: 등록 시스템: 이는 상대적으로 긴 디자인 주기를 갖고 있는 산업디자인에 적용됩니다. 보호 기간: 접수일로부터 5년. 이는 산업디자인법 제16조에 따라, 비용을 지불하여 5년마다 2회 연장 가능합니다. 기록 시스템: 디자인 혹은 상용화 단계의, 상대적으로 짧은 주기를 갖는 산업디자인에 적용됩니다. 예를 들어, 섬유 제품은  세계무역기구(WTO)의 회원국의 동의에 의해 만들어진  무역 관련 지적재산권(TRIPS) 제25조를 따릅니다. 보호 기간: 산업디자인법 제17조에 따라, 첫 발표일로부터 3년간 이는 산업디자인법 제5조 “등록 시스템”과 같은 보호 조항에 따라, 첫 발표일로부터 12개월까지 등록 시스템으로 변경 가능합니다.   3. 등록 불가 디자인 현재, 등록 불가 산업디자인에 대한 규칙은 산업디자인법 제4조에서 규율하고 있는데, 여기에서는 만일 산업디자인이 준거법과 규정, 공공질서, 종교, 혹은 도덕성과 충돌하게 되었을 때, 그 권리를 보호받을 수 없다고 명시하고 있습니다. 하지만, 새로운 법안에서 보다 많은 규칙이 추가되어, 5조 내용은 제6조로 옮겨졌습니다.   다음 중 하나라도 해당될 시, 등록 불가 산업디자인으로 봅니다. a. 미적 인상을 주지 못함, b. 디자인 특징이 기술적 기능만의 목적으로 창조될 경우, c. 추가적으로 개발되거나 변형되지 않은 민속적 혹은 전통 문화적 표현, d. 법과 규율의 조항, 공공질서, 종교 및/혹은 도덕에 반하는 경우, e. 나쁜 의도를 갖고 출원하는 경우.   4. 주인의 책임/ 쇼핑센터 경영진의 의무 산업디자인권에 보다 도움이 되는 환경을 조성하고, 권리 강화를 지원하기 위해, 쇼핑센터 경영진은 그들의 쇼핑센터의 산업디자인권을 침해하는 물건을 판매 및/혹은 복제해서는 안 됩니다. 하지만, 해당 조항이 전자 상거래 사이트에도 적용되는지는 두고 봐야 합니다.   5. 정부의 산업디자인권 행사 인도네시아 정부는 국방 및 국가 안보 차원에서 산업디자인권을 행사할 수 있습니다. 따라서, 현재 산업디자인법에서 존재하지 않는 규율들이 전략적 이해를 보호하기 위해 만들어졌으며, 이를 통해 산업디자인권을 독립된 것으로, 인도네시아 정부의 통치하에 둘 수 있습니다.   따라서, 다음 규칙들이 입안되었습니다: 정부가 국방 및 국가 안보에 필수적인 산업디자인권을 행사하려고 하는 경우가 있다고 가정해 봅시다. 이 경우, 정부는 먼저 산업디자인권 보유자에게 다음 사항을 서면으로 알려야 합니다. 즉, 산업디자인권이 오로지 정부에 의해서 행사될 것이라는 정부의 결정이 최종적이라는 사실을 알려야 합니다. 정부의 산업디자인권 행사는 산업디자인권 보유자에게 합당한 보상을 제공함으로써 행사됩니다.   6. 국제 등록을 통한 출원 헤이그 협정, 그리고 1999년 7월 2일에 채택된 제네바법에서는 세계지식재산권기구 (WIPO)가 주관하는 시스템에서, 한 세트의 비용 지불을 통해 하나의 언어로 단일 출원 신청을 함으로써 복수의 국가에 산업디자인에 등록하게 되는 메커니즘을 규정합니다. 이러한 이유로, 비준을 수용하고 비준 가능성을 검토하기 위해 새로운 법안이 계획되었습니다.   7. 산업디자인 항소 이사회 제안된 개정은 또한 다음의 고려사항들과 함께 산업디자인 항소 이사회의 존재를 규율합니다. –   승인 결정 및 권리의 취소를 출원인이 승인하는 것을 수용하며, 이는 이후 산업디자인 항소 위원회의 독립적인 의사 결정을 통해 처리됩니다. –   항소 위원회를 통해 허가를 신청하기 위해 등록된 산업디자인을 승인하고 상업 법원에 항소를 제출할 수 있는 제3자 혹은 대중에 편의를 제공합니다. 이는 또한 산업디자인권과 관련된 소송을 다루는 영역의 부담을 줄여줄 수 있습니다. –   일본, 호주 및 유럽연합과 같은 국가들에서 항소 위원회를 통한 취소가 행해져 왔습니다.   또한, 항소는 다음의 사안에 대하여 제출될 수 있습니다: –   출원인 혹은 그들의 변호사에 의한 출원 거절 –   출원인 혹은 그들의 변호사에 의한 산업디자인권 부여에 관한 수정 –   이해관계가 있는 제3자에 의한 산업디자인권 부여   8. 신탁 보장 본 제안은 또한 등록된 산업디자인이 신탁 보장의 대상으로 사용될 수 있도록 제안하며, 이 사안과 관련된 조항들은 신탁 보장과 관련한 법 1999의 제42호 조건들을 따르게 될 것입니다.   인도네시아 혹은 외국의 산업디자인과 관련된 추가 질문 사항이 있으시다면, 이메일([email protected])로 연락해 주세요. 출처: 인도네시아 지적재산권 총국(Directorate General of Intellectual Property Right, DGIP)

《印度尼西亚工业品外观设计法》修正案中的8项拟定修改 在过去五年中，印度尼西亚对保护工业品外观设计重要性的认识不断提高。 这一点可从工业品外观设计注册的申请量持续大幅增加看出。 该申请量从2017年的2319份增长到2019年的2835份，2021年再次跃升至2957份，并在2022年达到峰值，为3533份。   然而，由于商业和创意领域的不断发展，有必要对印度尼西亚共和国2000年关于工业品外观设计的第31号法律（《工业品外观设计法》）进行修改，以便更好地保护工业品外观设计，使其更符合当前的商业实践。   此外，这些拟定修改将与工业品外观设计方面的国际发展情况保持一致，并营造一种进一步鼓励创造和创新的氛围，将创造和创新作为知识产权制度的一部分。 为此，DGIP提出以下8（八）项主要修改：   1. 定义（第1条） 目前，《工业品外观设计法》第1条规定，工业品外观设计是指以三维或二维形式创造一种构型，或线条或颜色的组合，或线条和颜色，或前述各项的组合，给人以审美印象，能以三维或二维图案实现，并能用于生产产品、工业品或手工艺品。然而，在发展过程中，需要给出更精确和更坚决的定义，即工业品外观设计权所保护的客体是“产品的外观”，这种外观具有“审美印象”，可保护产品的全部或部分特征，可以是二维和/或三维的。   2. 保护制度（第2条） 目前，《工业品外观设计法》第2条规定，工业品外观设计只有经过注册程序后才能得到保护；但在新法案中，即使不经过注册程序，也可通过记录获得保护。 修改详情如下： 注册制度： 适用于具有相对较长设计周期的工业品外观设计； 保护期： 自收到之日起5（五）年； 根据《工业品外观设计法》第16条的规定，每5（五）年可续展2（二）次，但须缴纳相关费用。 备案制度： 适用于具有相对较短的设计或商业生命周期的工业品外观设计。 例如，纺织品需符合世界贸易组织（WTO）成员国商定的《与贸易有关的知识产权》（TRIPS）第25条的规定。 保护期： 根据《工业品外观设计法》第17条的规定，自首次公布之日起3（三）年。 根据《工业品外观设计法》第5（五）条规定的注册制度等保护规定，可以在首次公布之日起12（十二）个月内转为注册制度。   3. 不可注册外观设计 目前，不可注册工业品外观设计的规则由《工业品外观设计》第4（四）条规定，即如果工业品外观设计与适用的法律法规、公共秩序、宗教或道德相冲突，则不能提供权利。 然而，新法案中添加了更多规则，该条款改为第6（六）条。   满足以下条件之一的，即为不可注册工业品外观设计： a. 不具有审美印象； b. 创建设计特征时仅考虑技术功能； c. 以民俗或传统文化表达形式呈现，未经进一步发展或修改； d. 违反法律法规、公共秩序、宗教和/或道德的规定； e. 由具有不良意图的申请人提出。   4. 购物中心管理层承担的业主责任/义务 为了营造更有利的环境并维护工业品外观设计权的实施，购物中心管理层不得在其购物中心内销售和/或复制侵犯工业品外观设计权的商品。 然而，这一规定是否适用于电子商务网站还有待观察。   5. 政府行使工业品外观设计权 印度尼西亚政府可出于国防和安全利益考虑而行使工业品外观设计权。 因此，制定了《工业品外观设计法》中目前尚不存在的规定，以保障战略利益，从而使这些权利仍然处于印度尼西亚政府的主权和控制之下。   因此，以下规则计入法案中： –   假设政府有意行使一项对国家的国防和安全至关重要的工业品外观设计权。 在这种情况下，必须首先书面通知工业品外观设计权利持有人。 –   政府关于工业品外观设计权将完全由政府行使的决定为最终决定。 –   政府行使工业品外观设计权，需向工业品外观设计权利持有人提供合理的补偿。   6. 国际注册申请 《海牙协定》以及随后1999年7月2日的《日内瓦法》规定了在世界知识产权组织（WIPO）的管辖体系内，通过以一种语言提交的单一申请、以一套费用在多个国家注册工业品外观设计的机制。为此，新法案考虑到了追认问题，同时兼顾追认的可能性。   7. 工业品外观设计上诉委员会 拟定修改还会对工业品外观设计上诉委员会的存在进行规范，并考虑以下因素： –   考虑申请人对批准决定和权利撤销的认可，具体由工业品外观设计上诉委员会处理，其决定为独立决定。 –   为批准注册工业品外观设计的公众或第三方提供便利，使其通过上诉委员会申请许可，并可向商事法院提出上诉。 这也可减轻处理工业品外观设计权案件领域的负担。 –   通过上诉委员会进行撤销，目前已在日本、澳大利亚和欧盟等国家实施。   此外，还可就以下情况提出上诉： –   申请人或其代理人提出的申请遭到拒绝； –   申请人或其代理人就授予工业品外观设计权作出的更正； –   由利益相关第三方授予工业品外观设计权。   8. 信托担保 该提案还建议，注册工业品外观设计可作为信托担保的对象，关于这一问题的规定将遵循1999年关于信托担保的第42号法律中的条件。   如果您对印度尼西亚或国外的工业品外观设计有任何疑问，请通过[email protected]联系我们。 来源： 印度尼西亚知识产权局（DGIP）

8 Proposed Changes in the Amendment of the Industrial Design Law in Indonesia

Intellectual Property

8 Proposed Changes in the Amendment of the Industrial Design Law in Indonesia Indonesian awareness of the importance of protecting Industrial Design has continued to increase in the last five years. This can be seen from the application of Industrial Design registrations, which continues to increase significantly. From 2,319 applications in 2017, it grew to 2,835 in 2019, jumped again to 2,957 in 2021, and peaked in 2022 with 3,533 applications.   However, due to the evolution in the world of business and creativity, it is necessary to make changes to the Law of the Republic of Indonesia Number 31 of 2000 concerning Industrial Design (Industrial Design Law) so that its protection can be better and more relevant with the current business practices. In addition, these proposed changes will align with international developments in Industrial Design and create a climate that further encourages creation and innovation as part of the Intellectual Property regimes. For this reason, DGIP proposes 8 (eight) main changes as follows:   1. Definition (Article 1) Currently, Article 1 of the Industrial Design Law states that Industrial Design is the creation of a form of configuration, or composition of lines or colors, or lines and colors, or a combination thereof in three-dimensional or two-dimensional form which gives an aesthetic impression and can be realized in a pattern, three-dimensional or two-dimensional and can be used to produce a product, industrial commodity or handicraft. However, in its development, a more precise and firmer definition is needed that the object protected through Industrial Design Rights is the “outer appearance of the product,” which has an “aesthetic impression” that can be protected in whole or in part of its features, which can be two-dimensional and/or three-dimensional.   2. Protection System (Article 2) Article 2 of the Industrial Design Law currently regulates that Industrial Design will only receive protection after the registration process; however, in the new bill, protection is also possible without going through the registration process simply by recording it. With details of the changes as follows: Registration System: Applies to Industrial Design, which has a relatively long design cycle; Protection period: 5 (five) years from the date of receipt; It can be extended 2 (two) times every 5 (five) years by paying fees by Article 16 of the Industrial Design Law. Recordation System: Applies to Industrial Designs that have relatively short lifecycles in design or commercial. For example, textile products comply with the provisions of Article 25 of Trade Related Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPS) agreed upon by member countries of the World Trade Organization (WTO). Protection Period: 3 (three) years from the first publication date, as regulated in Article 17 of the Industrial Design Law.  It can be switched into a registration system by 12 (twelve) months from the date it was first published, following the protection provisions such as the Registration System regulated in Article 5 (five) of the Industrial Design Law.   3. Non-Registrable Designs Currently, the rules for non-registrable Industrial Designs are regulated in Article 4 (four) of Industrial Designs, which states that rights cannot be provided if the Industrial Designs conflict with applicable laws and regulations, public order, religion, or morality. However, more rule was added in the new Bill, and the article shifted to Article 6 (six).   Non-Registered Industrial Design if it meets one of the following criteria: Does not have an aesthetic impression; Features of the design are created for the purpose of  technical function only; Folklore or traditional cultural expression that is not further developed or modified; Contrary to the provisions of laws and regulations, public order, religion and/or morality; Filed by an applicant who has bad intentions.   4. Landlord Liability/ Obligations for Shopping Center Management To create a more conducive environment and uphold the enforcement of Industrial Design Rights, shopping center management should not allow the sale and/or duplication of goods that infringe Industrial Design Rights in their shopping center. However, it remains to be seen if the provision also applies to e-commerce sites.   5. Exercise of Industrial Design Rights by the Government The Indonesian Government can exercise Industrial Design Rights based on national defense and security interests. Therefore, regulations that currently do not exist in the Industrial Design Law were made to safeguard strategic interests so that the rights remain sovereign and under the control of the Indonesian Government. So the following rules were billed: Suppose the Government intends to exercise an Industrial Design Right, which is vital for the defense and security of the State. In that case, it must first notify the Industrial Design Right Holder in writing. The Government’s decision that an Industrial Design Right will be exercised solely by the Government is final. The Government’s exercise of Industrial Design Rights is carried out by providing reasonable compensation to Industrial Design Rights Holders.   6. Application from International Registration The Hague Agreement, followed by the Geneva Act of 2 July 1999, regulates the mechanism for registering Industrial Designs in several countries through a single application, filed in one language, with one set of fees with a system administrated by the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO). For this reason, the new bill has been prepared to accommodate ratification and examine the possibility of ratification.   7. Industrial Design Board of Appeal The proposed change will also regulate the presence of the Industrial Design Board of Appeal, with the following considerations: Accommodate the Applicant’s approval of the approval decision and cancellation of rights, which will be handled by the Industrial Design Appeal Commission, whose decisions are independent. Provide convenience for the public or third parties who approve a registered Industrial Design to apply for a permit through the Appeals Commission and can submit an appeal to the Commercial Court. This can also reduce the burden on the field in handling Industrial Design Rights cases. Cancellations through the Appeals Commission have been implemented in countries such as Japan, Australia, and the European Union. Furthermore, an Appeal can be submitted against: Rejection of the application by the…

Can I Trademark My Face in Indonesia?

Intellectual Property, Trademark

Can I Trademark My Face in Indonesia? One of the unique things we have as a human is our different faces. Starting from the shape of our eyes, nose, lips, cheekbones, skin color, mustache, and eyebrows, it makes our face different and has its charm. Considering that being distinctive is also one of the requirements for Trademark registration. It is not uncommon for us, as well as other world citizens, to think about registering our face as a Trademark. But can it be registered? Any Trademarks that feature famous faces already come up in your mind? This article will explain.   Trademark Definition According to Article 1 of Law of the Republic of Indonesia Number 20 of 2016 concerning Trademarks and Geographical Indications (Trademarks & Geographical Indications Law), a Trademark is a sign that can be displayed graphically in the form of an image, logo, name, word, letter, number, color arrangement, in the shape of 2 (two) dimensions and/or 3 (three) dimensions, sound, hologram, or a combination of 2 (two) or more of these elements to differentiate goods and/or services produced by individuals or legal entities in trading activities of goods and/or services.   Because images and photographs include visual graphics, the appearance of a face as a Trademark can be registered in Indonesia as long as it does not conflict with what is stated in Article 21 of the Trademark & Geographical Indications Law, namely that it has not been registered or applied for by another party and is not the same or resembles a photo of a famous person, except with the written consent of the entitled person.   Famous Trademarks with Face The rules are different abroad, such as in the United States and the European Union, where there is a strict prohibition on registering faces as trademarks. Recently, in the European Union, registering a Trademark with the picture of a famous model from the Netherlands, Puck Schrover, was rejected. Although the face is well known in the fashion industry, European Union Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO) examiners considered that the uniqueness of the face alone needed to be more distinctive as a Trademark because it could be a photographic representation of any woman.   However, if the face is present as an illustration, such as Colonel Sanders for the KFC or the face of a woman with long hair and “tentacles” for the Starbucks Coffee, it is considered unique and can be registered.   Meanwhile, in Indonesia, we know several registered Trademarks with faces and photos of people, such as Nyonya Meneer herbal drink (registration date: IDM000766048), Ayam Goreng Suharti (IDM000868681), Mbok Sarun fried chicken (IDM000828965), and Mbok Lindu gudeg (traditional Javanese cuisine, IDM001010038) Likewise, several service marks for alternative medicine use photos of their owners.   Face and Corporate Image In conclusion, using a face or passport picture is possible and legal if used as a Trademark in Indonesia. But are you ready to commit lifelong by putting your face on every product and/or service you have?   Because then, you must maintain your behavior and always be in the best image so the Trademark that reflects your professionalism is not disturbed. Because it is possible once you get into trouble, the lousy impact will also damage your Trademark.   However, if you are ready, take action as soon as possible to apply for the registration because the first-to-file principle applies in Indonesia. Don’t let your already phenomenal business, which resembles your image, be registered first by other irresponsible parties.   Should you have any questions or need more information regarding registering your face as a Trademark in Indonesia or abroad, please contact us via [email protected].

Demystifying the Public Domain: Permissions and Limitations

Intellectual Property1 Comment

Demystifying the Public Domain: Permissions and Limitations We can almost always see this iconic portrait of Bung Tomo‘s enthusiastic speech every November 10th, as Indonesia celebrates National Heroes’ Day. In fact, according to Tempo Magazine‘s journalistic investigation, this photo was not taken on that date but later in 1947 by Frans Mendur, when Bung Tomo chaired a meeting in Malang, East Java.   As a Work, this iconic portrait was first published in 1949, together with other historical photos of the Indonesian struggle, including photographs of the Proclamation, taken by Alex Mendur, Frans Mendur, and Abdoel Wahab Saleh, in a photo album “Revolutionary Paintings” courtesy of the Indonesia Press Photo Service (IPPHOS). The first two names are the brothers who founded IPPHOS. Because the portrait of Bung Tomo in Malang is more in line with the public’s imagination about the war spirit of November 10, rather than the actual conditions, where orations were only given in radio studios, this portrait is widely used to support Heroes’ Day.   However, a portrait is still a Work that has copyright protection. Articles 1 and 9 of the Indonesian Copyright Law specifically state that a portrait is a photographic Work with human objects, and only the Creator has Economic Rights to publish, reproduce in all forms, adapt, transform, and distribute a Work. If another party wants to use it, they must obtain permission from the Creator or Copyright Holder.   What if the Creator or Copyright Holder no longer exists? The Copyright Law regulates the validity period of Economic Rights, a reference for whether we still have to obtain permission from the Creator or Copyright Holder for a Work. If the validity period has passed, the Work has entered the Public Domain, and the public can use it freely without asking anyone for permission.   The Copyright Law in Indonesia divides the validity period of Economic Rights over Work into three different periods:   1. 25 years since the first publication; Applies to Works of Applied Art in the form of fine art created by using art to a product so that it has an aesthetic impression to meet practical needs, including images, motifs, or ornaments on a product.   2. 25 years since the first publication; This applies to the following three categories: Photographic works; portrait; cinematographic; video games; computer program; the appearance of written work; translations, interpretations, adaptations, anthologies, databases, adaptations, arrangements, modifications, and other works resulting from transformation; translation, adaption, arrangement, transformation or modification of traditional cultural expressions; compilation of works or data, either in a format that computer programs or other media can read; and the compilation of traditional cultural expressions as long as the compilation is an original work. Works Made for Hire; Anonymous Works and Pseudonymous Works.   3. During the life of the creator and 70 years after the creator’s death; Books, pamphlets, and all other written works; lectures, lectures, speeches, and other similar works; demonstration materials created for educational and scientific purposes; songs or music with or without text; drama, musical drama, dance, choreography, puppetry, and pantomime; works of fine art in all forms such as paintings, drawings, carvings, calligraphy, sculpture, statues or collages; architectural works; map; and batik artwork or other motif art.   4. Limitless Time Applies to held Traditional Cultural Expressions by government, which includes the following six categories: a. textual verbal, both spoken and written, in the form of prose or poetry, in various themes and message content, which can be in the form of literary works or informative narratives; b. music, including, among other things, vocal, instrumental, or a combination thereof; c. movement, including, among other things, dance; d. theater, including, among other things, puppet shows and folk plays; e. fine arts, both in two-dimensional and three-dimensional form, made from various materials such as leather, wood, bamboo, metal, stone, ceramics, paper, textiles, etc., or a combination thereof; and f. traditional ceremonies.   From the four categories above, it can be concluded that all works, if not included in Traditional Cultural Expressions, will ultimately fall into the Public Domain. Therefore, the portrait of Bung Tomo, first published in 1949, has been in the Public Domain since 1999.   In addition, there are regulations in Article 43 (e) of the Copyright Law regarding Copyright Restrictions, which states that duplication, announcement, and/or distribution of portraits of the President, Vice President, Former President, Former Vice President, National Heroes, heads of state institutions, leaders ministries/non-ministerial government agencies, and/or regional authorities with due regard for dignity and fairness by the provisions of laws and regulations are not considered a Copyright Infringement. Since 2008, Bung Tomo has been designated as a National Hero, so the public’s use of this iconic portrait is not Copyright infringement.   However, it would be best to remember that the legal basis governing Copyright varies in each country. So, the rules that apply in Indonesia may be different from other countries.   Comparison of Public Domains Abroad Duration of Copyright in the United States The Copyright Law in the United States divides the duration of Copyright as follows:      1. During the life of the creator and 70 years after the creator’s death; The creator’s identity is known for all works created after January 1, 1978.      2. 95 years from the year of its first publication, or a term of 120 years from the year of its creation, whichever expires first; For Anonymous Works, Pseudonymous Works, and Works Made for Hire      3. 45 years after the creation; Works created before January 1, 1978, but expired before December 31, 2002; and, if the work is published on or before December 31, 2002      4. 28 years after the publication. Any Posthumous Work or of any periodical, cyclopedic, or other composite work upon which the copyright was originally secured by the proprietor thereof, or any Work copyrighted by a corporate body (otherwise than as assignee or licensee of the individual author) or by an employer for whom…
