1. Regulation of the Minister of Law No. 5 of 2026 on Trademark Registrations

Enforcement Date: 23 February 2026

Summary:

• This Regulation now revises various administrative timelines relating to the trademark registration process that were previously in place. These revised timelines include: 1) Issuance of official trademark certificate excerpts: within one business day of receipt being taken of an application (previously, a maximum timeline of 15 business days was set); 2) Registration of trademark term extensions: within four business days of an application being declared complete (previously, a maximum timeline of two months was set); and 3) Publication of registration applications in the official trademark gazette: a maximum of 15 business days from receipt being taken of an application (this timeline was not previously specified).
• This new Regulation also revises the various types of supporting documents that must be submitted in order to complete trademark registrations, particularly for applications that are submitted by micro- and small-scale enterprises (Usaha Mikro dan Kecil/UMK). Furthermore, the new framework also allows for transfers of trademarks that are still undergoing the registration process, with this framework setting out five valid grounds that may serve as the basis for the submission of requests for the aforementioned transfers (e.g. inheritance or agreement).
• Trademark registration applicants who encounter any force-majeure events (e.g. riots, labor strikes or natural disasters) that prevent them from fulfilling the relevant administrative obligations within the determined deadline will be entitled to request extended deadlines in order to fulfill their obligations. Applications for deadline extensions may be filed in relation to various phases of the trademark registration process.
