Starting January 2, local brand owners in Indonesia can file a single international application under the Madrid System to protect their marks in the territories of the System’s other members. Membership in the Madrid Union will offer Indonesian enterprises a straightforward path to new markets—including top export destinations like the United States, the European Union, China and Japan. Likewise, from early next year, foreign enterprises and brand owners can use the Madrid System to seek trademark protection for their products and services in Indonesia, a leader in the global marketplace and one of the top-five fastest growing G20 economies.
