Indonesian awareness of the importance of protecting Industrial Design has continued to increase in the last five years. This can be seen from the significantly increasing number of Industrial Design registrations. 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.
The Directorate General of Intellectual Property (DGIP), the Industrial Design Office in Indonesia, has also proposed changes to the Industrial Design Law to remain relevant to the latest creations and innovations. However, when submitting an Industrial Design application, at least 8 (eight) recommended representations of figures for Industrial stay the same, and you must follow them. Those recommendations are:
- Do not combine different features or colors in the same design.
- The design must be represented on a neutral background.
- Do not include extra elements that are not part of the design.
- Each image must have only one view of the design, namely front, back, top, bottom, left, right and perspective view.
- Magnified views must be uploaded as separate images.
- To exclude unregistered elements, disclaim them identically in all views.
- Disassembled product views require a corresponding assembled view.
- To protect a 2D ornament/pattern, submit it alone, not on a product.
