Indonesia’s Directorate General of Intellectual Property (DGIP) moved to the fee and procedural framework under Government Regulation No. 30/2026 on 1 August 2026, alongside an updated electronic filing portal. The change affects official fees and selected examination timelines across patent and trademark procedures. New filings, renewals, recordals and other transactions submitted from the cutover date are charged under the revised schedule, with increases of close to 50% for some items.
The transition guidance gives a narrow reprieve to billing codes generated on or before 31 July but not yet paid: the former fee may still apply if payment is completed before the code expires. Once a code lapses, a new code will generally need to be issued under the revised rates. Applicants should therefore review all unpaid codes immediately, confirm expiry dates and revisit budgets for accelerated examination and other patent or trademark steps. The practical issue is not only higher cost, but also tighter control over payment timing and internal filing instructions.
