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.…
