当您在像印度尼西亚这样的外国提交商标时，风险并不总是来自直接抄袭。当地的“抢注者”往往会将您的商标翻译、音译或改造为印尼语（Bahasa Indonesia），从而制造出一个混淆性相似的版本，依然能够吸引您的市场，但在概念上却与您的商标相似甚至相同。 印尼《商标法》不仅承认相同商标，也承认混淆性相似商标可能构成侵权。然而，如果您仅以原始外文提交商标申请，就可能给他人留下机会，去抢先注册其印尼语对应版本。 例如，您已经在第3类（化妆品）中申请了“ROSE”商标。但如果审查员在审查过程中未能充分注意到概念上的相似性，其他人依然有机会在相同类别中注册“MAWAR”（“ROSE”的印尼语翻译）。 通过在一开始就同时申请印尼语版本的商标，您就能够锁定品牌身份的两个版本，大大增加了当地“山寨者”利用翻译漏洞的难度。 ? 邮箱 : [email protected] ? 电话预约 : +62 21 83793812 ? 微信 : AFFAIPR
