Provisional Refusal

Why Did You Receive a Provisional Refusal?

A provisional refusal is a preliminary decision issued by DGIP when concerns arise during the examination of your trademark application. You still have an opportunity to respond before a final decision is made.
This usually happens for one of two main reasons:
legal concern

Legal Concerns

DGIP may identify concerns with your trademark application based on Indonesian trademark law or other grounds for refusal.

third party opposition

Third-Party Opposition

A local company or an existing trademark holder in Indonesia believes your trademark is too similar to theirs, or infringes on their rights.

If your response successfully addresses the examiner's objections, your trademark application may proceed to the next stage of registration.
