Intellectual Property & Technology, Media and Telecommunications (TMT)
HWMA advises on the full spectrum of intellectual property protection, commercialization, and enforcement in Indonesia. Our IP practice covers trademark and patent registration and prosecution before the Directorate General of Intellectual Property (DGIP), copyright advisory, trade secret protection, and IP licensing and assignment. We assist both Indonesian and multinational clients in building and defending their IP portfolios, including anti-counterfeiting strategies, customs recordal, and enforcement actions before the DGIP and the courts. Our team has particular expertise in IP issues arising in the context of technology, digital commerce, and brand-intensive consumer sectors.
In the technology, media, and telecommunications space, we advise broadcast companies, digital platform operators, over-the-top (OTT) content providers, and telecom providers on licensing, content regulation, spectrum allocation, and regulatory compliance with the Ministry of Communication and Digital Affairs (Komdigi). We also advise on legal issues specific to the digital economy, including e-commerce regulatory requirements under Government Regulation No. 71 of 2019 (PP PDPSE), platform liability frameworks, and the legal aspects of artificial intelligence deployment.
Our TMT practice intersects closely with our data protection and cybersecurity sub-group, enabling us to provide seamless, integrated advice to technology companies operating at the intersection of IP, regulation and data, ensuring full compliance with Indonesia's evolving digital legal landscape.
