Manggala Putra Perkasa Proposes PK Regarding Polomail Lauren Brand Dispute

JAKARTA - PT Manggala Putra as one of the Polo Ralph Lauren brand holders submitted a Review (PK) to the Commercial Court today. This legal effort was carried out because of the Supreme Court's (MA) conflicting decisions.

The company's attorneys, Petrus Ballapatyo and Rahmat Santoso said this review was in order to obtain legal certainty. Initially, they explained that the brand Ralph Lauren had been revoked by the court's decision because Mojang HB was inactive for three years in 1999.

According to him, PT Manggala Putra Perkasa then bought this brand from an American named John Wetley. This transaction is confirmed to be equipped with a notary deed.

Deletion of trademark No.173934 'RALPHLAUREN' on behalf of Brother Mohodar HB because the brand was not used in a row for three years or more as stipulated in Article 51 paragraph (2) letter a of Law Number 19 of 1992," said the attorney, Thursday, August 8, citing the Supreme Court Decision No. 310K/Pdt/1999 dated 2001.

This decision, continued the attorney, ordered the Directorate General of HKI Kumham to remove the trademark that had been proposed by Moodar. Thus, PT Manggala Putra Perkasa used it.

In addition, the legal team also questioned Moavoid's steps to apply for a PK. This is because this figure is included in the wanted list or DPO.

"Do people who do not respect the law in Indonesia, they can also take legal action. That's the case," they concluded.
