Registered intellectual property rights can be
efficiently and effectively enforced in Indonesia.
Indonesia is often described as a challenging jurisdiction, and this is correct insofar as enforcement options that are available in more developed legal jurisdictions are not all available here. However, there are tried and tested options that do work, and can be combined to formulate an effective strategy.
Achieve a deterrent effect quickly and cost-effectively. Raids are generally carried out within two weeks of filing a complaint.
A low-cost enforcement option, most effective when used as part of a wider strategy including raids. An opportunity to recover costs.
Our experienced team of in-house investigators are skilled at performing a variety of investigative techniques. Able to penetrate targets and collect useful evidence.
Useful both for identifying sources of counterfeit/infringing product, as well as assessing the state of the market.
Magnify the deterrent effect of enforcement measures through press releases, press conferences, public notices.
Removing infringing content from online platforms and e-commerce sites.
Controlled purchases of counterfeit/infringing goods.
Case Study
In 2023 our investigators uncovered a network of Online-to-Offline (O2O) targets based out of Bandung, West Java. Bandung City Police (Polrestabes Bandung) were able to execute raid actions based on our findings, targeting both the targets’ retail outlets and warehouses. Thousands of counterfeit shoes were seized, and a distribution channel extended through West Java to neighbouring provinces was disrupted.
Leveraging SKC Law’s extensive network with enforcement authorities, our team has showcased an impressive ability to obtain leads on counterfeiting activity in both remote and populated areas of Indonesia. SKC Law collaborated with police authorities in South Kalimantan to conduct a raid on a regional distributor of counterfeit lubricants. 6,288 bottles were seized from the target, and another 18,708 bottles were seized from the target’s supplier. This significant enforcement action was featured in various local media including Kompas and Antara.
In a case forming part of a wider campaign, SKC Law was entrusted to work with the East Java Province Police and conduct raids on a store and associated warehouse.A staggering amount of more than 24,000 pieces of spare parts were seized in this action.
Online to offline enforcement has become a high priority for our clients. Addressing offline premises associated with online transactions is regarded as having significantly more deterrent effect than executing takedowns. Our investigations team was able to identify targets distributing counterfeit accessories dispersed around the Greater Jakarta Area. Our enforcement team was able to coordinate raids with Tanjung Duren Sector Police (Polsek Tanjung Duren) which led to the seizure of over 27,000 counterfeit accessories.
