Sengketa Merek Mawar Super Laundry

20 - September - 2018

Siti Wardah, pengusaha cairan pembersih untuk laundry pakaian mengajukan gugatan pembatalan merek 'MAWAR SUPER LAUNDRY'. Gugatan itu didaftarkan di Pengadilan Niaga Jakarta. "Klien saya ajukan gugatan pembatalan karena pendaftaran merek dilakukan dengan itikad tidak baik dan tidak jujur," kata kuasa hukum penggugat, Ichwan Anggawirya kepada Gatra.com di Jakarta, Sabtu, (23/6).

Siti Wardah yang akrab disapa Wardah sudah merintis usaha produksi cairan pembersih untuk laundry pakaian sejak 2013 silam. Merek produknya itu ia beri nama 'MAWAR SUPER LOUNDRY'. Wardah juga membuat sendiri logo untuk mereknya. "Saya yang mendesain dan menentukan jenis huruf serta komposisi warnanya," ujarnya.

Pada 2015, Rosa Sumaya yang awalnya menjadi pemasok botol kemasan, tertarik menjadi distributor cairan pembersih yang diproduksi Wardah. Kongsi bisnis disepakati. Bisnis berkembang pesat. Pada Januari 2017, Wardah berinisiatif mendaftarkan merek produk cairan pembersihnya, MAWAR SUPER LOUNDRY berikut logonya ke Direktorat Jenderal Hak Kekayaan Intelektual, Kemenkumham.

Namun, permohonan pendaftaran merek ditolak. Melalui surat tertanggal 26 Maret 2018, Ditjen HKI menyebut pendaftaran ditolak karena sudah lebih dulu terdaftar merek MAWAR SUPER LAUNDRY di Ditjen HKI atas nama Siti Hardita Sundari yang diajukan pada 28 September 2016.

Ichwan menjelaskan dari hasil penelusuran yang dilakukan tim kuasa hukum Wardah ditemukan fakta bahwa pendaftaran merek oleh Siti Hardita Sundari diduga dilakukan dengan itikad tidak baik.

Ternyata, pendaftar adalah saudara kandung dari Rosa Sumaya yang pernah menjadi distributor, dan kemudian secara diam-diam memproduksi dan memasarkan sendiri cairan pembersih dengan menggunakan merek MAWAR SUPER LAUNDRY.

Ichwan mengungkapkan bahwa pendaftaran merek di Indonesia memang menganut asas first to file. Artinya siapa yang mengajukan merek terlebih dahulu maka dianggap sebagai pemegang merek. Tapi sepanjang permohonan pendaftaran merek harus diajukan dengan itikad baik. “Faktanya, pendaftaran dilakukan dengan itikad tidak baik,” terangnya.

Copyright as an Intangible Movable Property: Understanding Tangible and Intangible Value

By: Dr. Ichwan Anggawirya, S.Sn., S.H., M.H. In Intellectual Property law practice, one of the most common misconceptions is the view that possession of a physical object is identical to possession of all rights attached to that object. For example, purchasing a painting is often understood as a basis for reproducing that painting. Similarly, receiving the source code of a computer...

Copyright, Creator, and Ownership of Computer Programs in the Indonesian Legal Perspective

Dr. Ichwan Anggawirya, S.Sn., S.H., M.H.

When Form Becomes Identity: Understanding 3D Brands and Industrial Design in Branding Strategy

Dr. Ichwan Anggawirya, S.Sn., S.H., M.H. The development of intellectual property law shows that the identity of a trademark is no longer limited to just a name, writing, or two-dimensional logo.

Why is it difficult for the law to provide an absolute definition of a famous mark

Dr. Ichwan Anggawirya, S.Sn., S.H., M.H. The concept of a "well-known mark" is one of the most important concepts in trademark law, yet it is also one of the most difficult to define absolutely. Almost all trademark legal systems in various countries recognize it as a basis for broader legal protection for a mark that has a strong reputation. However, interestingly,...

When Market Perceptions Change and Global Brand Giants Fall

Dr. Ichwan Anggawirya, S.Sn., S.H., M.H. Not a few major global brands were once considered too strong to be defeated. These names not only dominated the market but also shaped consumption culture, social status symbols, and even the identity of certain generations. However, business history shows that no matter how strong a brand's power, it can still decline when companies...

Brand as a Composition: Harmony of Sound, Color, Form, and Social Resonance in Architecture

Dr. Ichwan Anggawirya, S.Sn., S.H., M.H. When dissected more deeply, a brand is not merely a trade name or a visual symbol that functions to differentiate one product from another. In a much more complex dimension, the process of brand formation is actually very similar to the birth of a musical work. Just as a song is composed through the harmony of notes, rhythm, tempo, emotional...

Viral Brands Are No Accident: Branding Entry Strategies in Creating Market Explosions

Dr. Ichwan Anggawirya, S.Sn., S.H., M.H. Not a few people assume that a brand goes viral solely due to luck, social media momentum, or a fleeting trend. However, in contemporary branding practices, virality is often the result of a perception strategy consciously designed from the outset. Some brands are even intentionally shaped to become public talking points before their products are...

Dr. Ichwan Anggawirya, S.Sn., S.H., M.H. In classical business theory, brands are generally understood as commercial identities that function to differentiate the goods or services of one business entity from those of another. However, in contemporary branding practices, some of the world's major brands have evolved far beyond the mere function of product identification. At a...

Intentionally "Wrong" but Strong Brand Name Strategies

Dr. Ichwan Anggawirya, S.Sn., S.H., M.H. In contemporary branding practices, there is an interesting phenomenon where some companies build their brand identity through words that are linguistically considered non-standard, unusual, or appear as deviations from commonly known spellings. Although often perceived as a form of writing "error," such modifications are in fact...
