Supreme Court of Indonesia

Our Position

In its brief to the Indonesian Supreme Court, INTA argued that the protection of well-known marks and the protection against bad faith registration, although related, are independent legal concepts. Moreover, use or registration of a mark in a jurisdiction should not be a requirement to determine whether that mark is well known or whether a third party’s application for the same mark is made in bad faith.
