Overview
Pacific Patent Multiglobal (PPM) is one of Indonesia’s longest-established intellectual property specialist firms, tracing its origins to 1986, several years before Indonesia’s modern patent regime came into force. Over nearly four decades, the Jakarta-based practice has developed into a prominent IP boutique serving both domestic and international clients across the full spectrum of intellectual property protection, enforcement and commercialisation. Formerly known as Pacific Patent, the firm has built a longstanding reputation for advising on patents, trademarks, copyright, industrial designs, licensing matters and related regulatory issues.
A defining feature of the firm is its exclusive focus on intellectual property and related regulatory services. Unlike many full-service law firms with IP departments, Pacific Patent Multiglobal has developed a dedicated practice centred on helping clients protect and maximise the value of their intellectual assets. The firm advises on the complete lifecycle of intellectual property rights, including clearance and registrability assessments, prosecution, portfolio management, renewals, assignments, licensing arrangements, enforcement actions and dispute-resolution matters. Its work extends beyond traditional IP rights to include regulatory approvals and business permits that are closely connected to the commercial exploitation of intellectual property.
The firm continues to distinguish itself through its combination of technical expertise and legal capability. According to the firm, its team includes professionals experienced in patentability assessments and trademark searches, enabling them to support clients at the earliest stages of innovation and brand development. This technical foundation is complemented by litigation and enforcement capabilities, allowing the practice to assist clients with investigations, infringement matters, administrative proceedings and court-related disputes when necessary.
Pacific Patent Multiglobal acts for clients operating across a wide range of industries, including consumer goods, food and beverage, hospitality, fashion, cosmetics, sport, banking, insurance, energy, aviation, automotive and technology. The practice regularly works with multinational corporations seeking protection and enforcement of intellectual property rights in Indonesia, while also advising domestic companies on portfolio development and brand protection. Its experience covering diverse industry sectors enables the team to navigate both sector-specific regulatory requirements and broader intellectual-property considerations.
International reach remains an important component of the practice. The firm maintains relationships with organisations and professional networks involved in intellectual property matters worldwide, including the International Trademark Association (INTA), Asian Patent Attorneys Association (APAA), European Communities Trademark Association (ECTA) and Indonesian intellectual-property associations. These connections support the firm's ability to coordinate cross-border protection strategies and assist clients whose portfolios extend beyond Indonesia.
The firm is led by a senior team that includes Lanny Setiawan, Fahmi Assegaf and Emilia Rahmawati as key contacts. Supporting them is a specialist team that combines legal, technical and administrative expertise across patent, trademark, copyright and industrial-design matters. Together, they continue to advance the firm's core philosophy of safeguarding intellectual creativity through practical, commercially focused and technically informed advice.
