Indonesia's Directorate General of Intellectual Property (DJKI) set up an IP service desk at Trade Expo Indonesia (TEI) 2026, held from 14 to 18 October at ICE BSD in Banten. According to DJKI's announcement of 15 October, the programme had four parts: consultations, promotion of IP-based products, information sessions, and coordination with other agencies involved in exports.
DJKI said most questions from exhibitors were about trademarks: registering marks for goods and services and protecting logos and visual identity. Officials also visited stands to ask exhibitors about the status of their trademark registrations. Help was available for copyright, patents and industrial designs, from preparing documents and creating an online account to filing the application.
On promotion, DJKI featured nine geographical indication products and arranged business matching with buyers. One result, according to DJKI, was a memorandum of understanding between the GI protection community for Java Preanger tea and a buyer from Mexico. Talk shows covered the Madrid Protocol for international trademark registration and patents.
The message for exporters is simple: a mark registered only in Indonesia does not protect a brand abroad. Before shipping to a new market, exporters should file in that country directly or through the Madrid system, which Indonesia joined in 2018.
