Trademark refusal rate in Indonesia: Madrid System filings
57,691 international registrations on record designate Indonesia. Among the 19,842 designations registered 2019–2022 (the resolved cohort we measure outcomes on), 16.3% received a provisional refusal, 1,314 (6.6%) are still refused outright, 376 partially, and 17,323 (87.3%) hold a grant of protection. That refusal rate is above the 4.4% median across the 60 most-designated offices.
How U.S. companies fare in Indonesia compared with 60+ other offices: where U.S. trademark owners get refused abroad.
48% of the registrations designating Indonesia also designate the United States. Those appear in USPTO data as well, so a USPTO clearance check catches them; the rest are invisible to a U.S.-only search.
