Hadiputranto Hadinoto & Partners continues to win accolades from clients, having dominated IP in Indonesia with frequent and consistent cases and enforcement actions from international clients. The firm is the Indonesian member firm of Baker & McKenzie and its strong suit is trade marks, where the combination of its comprehensive global IP database system and the hiring of Heru Lukito earlier this year bolstered the firm's offerings on key cases. Among the important cases handled this year, IP practice group head Daru Lukiantono handled the successful cancellation of two identical trade mark registrations by a local individual based on the well-known status of Vans trade marks and the bad faith of the conflicting party. On a similar note, Lukiantono also represented Marriott Worldwide in its cease-and-desist campaign against a local hotel service provider infringing its mark. The case was significant as it avoided litigation proceedings and the infringer operates in one of Indonesia's well-known business areas. In addition, key clients such as Unilever, Procter & Gamble and Warner Bros continue to choose Hadiputranto Hadinoto & Partners as their first port of call in Indonesia.
