Challenges and opportunities for the future

In 2016, Indonesia will be joining the ASEAN Economic Community (AEC), which will certainly give the professionals of ASEAN countries, the equal opportunity to enter Indonesia’s intellectual property field. As it is known, ASEAN member states are mostly developing countries wherein one and another are competing to be a developed country, that would cause one professional to be more dominant than the others.

Indonesian IP regulations can be easily accessed by other countries. In any case, we are not aware of this matter because there is a possibility that the firm’s existence as an IP consultant will no longer needed by the clients. That is the biggest challenge in 2016 and beyond that we face, which means that our IP office must improve its quality in all areas continuously.

In addition to the ASEAN Economic Community, the possibility of the ratification of the Madrid Protocol into IP regulations in Indonesia, is also a big challenge, where an application for trademark registration may be filed through WIPO without the necessity of intellectual property consulting services.

With the experience Am Badar & Partners have had since 1965, along with the support of qualified workers, not to mention client loyalty, we are ready to face ASEAN Economic Community and the Madrid Protocol. Even then, we can take the advantage of these conditions when the other IP consultants are in a less than good condition. In addition to quality improvements in IP registration, upon the said circumstances, we also improved our quality in an area that will be a golden opportunity for us in the future.

Moreover, the Indonesian Patent Office will amend the Trademark and Patent Law in 2016. There will be a new regulation pertaining Trademark Prosecution and Patent Prosecution matters in 2016. According to information from the Indonesian Patent Office, there are now 896 IP Attorneys in Indonesia. According to this situation, we believe that the competition will be intense between IP Agent in Indonesia during 2016.
