Editorial Policy

Editorial Policy

IP News is published by NUSAPAT, an Indonesian intellectual property firm. This page explains how we choose, write, check and correct our articles.

What we cover

We report on trademarks, patents, copyright, industrial designs and IP policy worldwide, with a focus on Indonesia, ASEAN and Asia. Typical stories cover court decisions, IP office notices, new laws and regulations, treaty developments and significant disputes.

Sources

We base each article on primary sources wherever possible: court judgments, official IP office publications, government announcements and company press releases. Secondary reports are used only to find a story, and we then go back to the original document. Each article ends with a "Sources" list linking to the material we relied on.

Original value

We do not republish other outlets' articles. Each piece explains what happened in our own words and adds an angle, such as what a decision means for rights holders, filers or practitioners.

Use of AI

We use AI tools to help research and draft articles. AI output is never published unchecked. A member of our editorial team reviews each article against its sources for accuracy, dates, names and legal status before publication, and remains responsible for the content.

Authors and dates

Every article shows the name of its author and its publication date. We do not change dates to make old articles look new.

Images

We use free stock photos from Pexels, Unsplash and Pixabay, or official material where permitted. Photographers are credited under each image. We avoid photos that show a party's logo in a way that could suggest endorsement.

Independence

NUSAPAT provides IP services in Indonesia. Articles are not paid placements. Where a story involves a NUSAPAT client or matter, we will say so in the article.

Corrections

If you find an error, email mail@nusapat.com with the article link and the correct information. We review corrections promptly. When we fix a factual error, we add a short note to the article stating what was corrected.

Not legal advice

Our articles are general information and not legal advice. For advice on a specific matter, consult a qualified IP professional.
