DJKI Prepares Indonesia Patent Business Forum to Link Inventors With Industry
DJKI met state-owned enterprises, regional enterprises, industry associations and other stakeholders in Jakarta on 22 October 2026 to prepare the Forum Bisnis Paten Indonesia (Indonesia Patent Business Forum). According to DJKI, the forum will run from 3 to 5 November 2026 at the Jakarta International Convention Center.
Director General Hermansyah Siregar said that patent work should not stop at registration and certificates; granted patents need to be linked to industry so they generate economic value. Patent Director Andrieansjah said the forum will match patent owners with companies looking for technology, with help on licensing, patent valuation and financing.
Industry feedback at the meeting was pointed. According to DJKI, the executive director of the Indonesian Pharmaceutical Companies Association (GP Farmasi) asked for closer attention to simple patents (paten sederhana) whose novelty may be weak and which could be used to restrict competition. Other participants asked for better coordination between DJKI and the food and drug agency BPOM on patent search results used in drug registration. DJKI said search results reflect what was published at the time of the search and can change as new applications are published.
For foreign patent holders, the forum is a sign that Indonesia wants more licensing of granted patents. It also shows that local industry is watching the quality of simple patents closely.
