Rahajeng Handayani

Rahajeng Handayani is the Head of the Intellectual Property Practice Group of SS&R Legal Consultants since this practice group was established by the end of 2006, when she joined the firm after her first position as in house legal in a US multinational company in the tyres industry for two years and another eight years in a former and leading IP firm in Jakarta.

To support and verify her capacity, she has joined number of IP organisations, i.e. INTA, AIPPI, APAA, AIPA, Indonesia IP Registered Consultants (AKHKI) and Indonesia Advocate Association (PERADI). As a dedicated member of APAA, she has served as a committee member since 2004, started for Design, and continued for Copyright, and now is joining the committee for Emerging Rights. She also was a Sub-Committee Member of INTA, for LRC and Trademark Office Practice, serving one period for each.

She has been entrusted by a national oil company and a leading printing company to file a joint-ownership patent application to entering nation phase in nine countries, and so far it has been successfully granted in six countries. She has also been entrusted by a leading plastic company in Indonesia to file its trademark in 13 countries. Those experiences are quite rare for Indonesia IP practitioners, as most Indonesia IP applications come from overseas filing rather than domestic applicants going abroad.

In line with the new regulation issued by the Indonesian Government – the Control of Import and Export of Goods Allegedly Constituting or Deriving from Intellectual Property Infringement – SR Legals wishes to introduce new practice on supply chain management also covering the field of waste management.

Optimistically, this new practice will support and complete the existing legal services of SR Legals which has provided services in the field of banking & corporate finance, corporate law & foreign direct investments, labour law and property law, trade law and dispute resolution in those areas.
