A mark is an asset that is as important as other assets in a company because a mark can be used as the identity of the company to distinguish the quality of services or products produced by the company from similar services or products produced by others. Being optimized, a mark can have a significant role in increasing sales. This is because in the consumers’ view, a mark can be regarded as a “quality assurance” (good guaranteed quality) of a product or service. Therefore, companies should make efforts to protect their mark in order to avoid disputes in the future.

Given the importance of marks, the Intellectual Property (IP) team of Dentons HPRP will share its expertise in a workshop on “Pendaftaran Merek berdasarkan Peraturan Menteri Hukum dan HAM No.67 Tahun 2016 dan Penyelesaian Sengketa Pendaftaran Merek” (Registration of Marks under Regulation of the Minister of Justice and Human Rights No.67 of 2016 and The Dispute Resolutions).

The workshop will address the laws and regulations on trademark registration, how to settle disputes, settlement options, legal proceedings, and the legal consequences of a cancellation decision based on sample cases.

The workshop will feature an Dentons HPRP Partner who has extensive expertise in Intellectual Property, Linna Simamora, S.H., LL.M., and a distinguish expert from the regulatory authority, Jurnalis S.H., M.Si., from the Ministry of Law and Human Rights.
