AmCham’s Intellectual Property Rights Committee and the US Embassy co-hosted an in-person meeting with Matthew Kohner, Intellectual Property Attaché for Southeast Asia at the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) on Jan 31, discussing broad intellectual property (IP) issues and enforcement in Indonesia.
The meeting began with an introduction from the USPTO on its scope and priorities on IP issues in the region, followed by a lively discussion on member companies’ specific concerns regarding IP implementation. The issues discussed included the revision of the Patent Law, patent protection in e-commerce platforms, the customs record system, and links between IP and local content requirements. The USPTO representatives and member companies also shared insights from their engagements with the government, best practices from other countries, and suggestions on future advocacy.
