Enforcing your rights
Businesses mention IP infringement and IP enforcement as issues when operating in Indonesia.
If your rights are infringed, there are 3 main options you can consider: civil litigation, criminal prosecution, and customs seizures however mediation via legal professionals is often an effective and lower cost option.
IP infringement is a criminal offence however enforcement is often difficult. In practice, only minor fines are given for IP crimes. IP infringement is a complaint-based crime where the IP holder needs to file a complaint with the police or DGIP before any action such as raids is taken.
If you suspect goods infringing your trade mark or copyright are being imported into Indonesia, you can notify the customs via the courts of suspected shipments however in practice seizures are rare.
