Abstract

This article outlines the history and development of well-known trade marks and the applicable law in China and Indonesia. It looks not just at foreign and international brands subjected to 'trade mark squatting', but also at how local enterprises are using the system. In China, government incentives assist the proliferation of nationally well-known and locally 'famous' trade marks. In Indonesia, lack of implementing legislation has left the matter of recognition to the discretion of the courts.

Keywords: Well-Known Trade Marks, TRIPS, Foreign Investment, China, Indonesia
