The importance of intellectual assets can never be underestimated—they are the key to generating profits. Knowing your rights as they relate to such assets is therefore a vital step to ensuring that you can maximize the value of your IP. In order to assist those with business interests in Indonesia, Tilleke & Gibbins’ Jakarta team has published a new guide, Intellectual Property in Indonesia: Registration, Protection, Commercialization, which reviews the key protection and enforcement issues relating to trademarks, patents, simple patents (utility models), industrial designs, and copyrights.
