Tekiro, a national tool trademark that won the trademark war against Tekipo.

progresifjaya.co.id, JAKARTA – The Commercial Court of the Central Jakarta District Court (PN Jakpus) has legally ended the trademark war between Tekiro and Tekipo. Through its decision numbered 82/Pdt.Sus-HKI/Merek/2025/PN Niaga Jkt.Pst, the panel of judges granted Tekiro’s trademark lawsuit to suppress or cancel the Tekipo trademark. The reasoning was simple. The Tekipo trademark was deemed to be substantially similar to the Tekiro trademark, which had already been registered in Indonesia.

The panel of judges also stated that the registration of the Tekipo trademark was deemed to have elements of bad faith, imitating the plaintiff’s Tekiro trademark. The Tekipo trademark name was also deemed to have the potential to cause consumer confusion due to its similarity to Tekiro’s trademark for the same type of product.

“The plaintiff’s lawsuit is granted in its entirety. The panel of judges declares the cancellation of the registration of the Tekipo trademarks in the General Register of Trademarks of the Directorate General of Intellectual Property with all its legal consequences,” read the panel of judges’ decision, as quoted from the official website of the Central Jakarta District Court on Thursday, December 25, 2025.

In addition to canceling the trademark, the panel of judges also ordered the Directorate General of Intellectual Property (DJKI), as Defendant II, to cancel the registration of the Tekipo trademark and announce it in the official trademark gazette.

Furthermore, the defendant was ordered to pay court costs of Rp4.064.000 and is required to comply with all court decisions.

Tekiro a National Trademark

PT Altama Surya Anugerah, as the legal owner of the Tekiro trademark, welcomed this decision. In a statement, Oscar Andrew Sutjiadi, Director of PT Altama Surya Anugerah said this decision is a victory for legal certainty and justice for national businesses.

This ruling, he continued, also confirms that the law always protects brands built through hard work and good faith.

“Tekiro will continue to be a national tool trademark in Indonesia,” Oscar stated in a written statement.

Meanwhile, the plaintiff’s attorney, Amris Pulungan, added that the company’s management also urges all business partners, distributors, and consumers to continue to refer to Tekiro products, which are legally valid.

“We also ask the public to always respect the applicable legal process,” said Amris.

He also hopes this ruling will set a positive precedent for maintaining a healthy business climate in Indonesia. Moreover, protection of Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) is an important foundation for building consumer trust. (Bembo)
