Indonesia waives copyright registration fees for songs and music

Indonesia’s Directorate General of Intellectual Property (DJKI) has waived copyright registration fees for songs and music, effective from 1 August.  

By adjusting non-tax state revenue rates, the DJKI has reduced the copyright registration fee for songs and musical works from Rp200,000 (approximately $11) to zero. Fees for other types of copyrighted work remain unchanged. 

In the same move, the DJKI has raised fees for trademark services by between 40% and 57%. The fee for replacing a national trademark with an international trademark has increased by 180%.  

Patent-related fees have not changed.
