Indonesia's Directorate General of Intellectual Property (DJKI) held an online briefing on 13 October 2026 about its support programme for collective mark registration and a new application called SIMAKO (Sistem Pendampingan dan Fasilitasi Pendaftaran Merek Kolektif), according to a DJKI release.
Fajar Sulaeman Taman, Director of Marks and Geographical Indications, said SIMAKO is designed to support the whole process: identifying potential groups, assessing readiness, preparing documents, filing, and monitoring and managing the mark after registration. DJKI said the aim is to make this support more structured and consistent across its regional offices.
Collective marks let cooperatives, village enterprises (BUMDes) and associations protect a shared brand for products made by their members. For foreign businesses sourcing from Indonesian producer groups, a registered collective mark can also make supply-chain branding clearer.
