As the strategic intellectual property partner of our client, WEIPR identified critical risk information during routine global trademark monitoring: a combined letter-and-graphic trademark under public review in Indonesia exhibited significant overlap with our client's registered graphic trademark in both visual composition and registration classes.
Leveraging industry insights accumulated through long-term service, WEIPR promptly activated its standardized opposition response mechanism:
1. Precision in evidence chain construction: Focused on trademark similarity, overlap in registration classes, and the applicant's bad-faith registration behavior to establish a robust legal argument.
2. Strict compliance with Indonesian statutory deadlines: Simultaneously completed drafting of legal documents and preparation of multilingual evidentiary materials.
3. Strategic legal citation: Emphasized our client's strong regional market recognition while invoking Indonesia's Trademark Law provisions on prior rights protection.
The Indonesian Trademark Office ultimately adopted WEIPR's arguments, confirming the contested trademark's violation of relevant regulations. Based on this, the Office formally revoked the disputed trademark's registration process.
Case Significance: This case demonstrates how proactive monitoring enables timely infringement risk identification. By deploying a systematic legal response framework, WEIPR successfully constructed a rights barrier in overseas markets, underscoring the strategic value of professional agencies in safeguarding clients' global business interests.
