Dear Alfin Et Al, Message From Indro: The Next 7 Days Warkopi's Name Must Be Lost

JAKARTA - DKI Warkop Institute again held a press conference after observing several developments related to Warkop legal issues. Virtually, Indro and Dono, Kasino, and Indro's children who are members of the DKI Warkop Institute gave a firm message.

"Regarding the protection of trademark rights, the DKI Warkop Institute warns that Warkop should no longer use the name "Warkopi" and change the name of the group that is currently being used within a period of no later than 7 (seven) calendar days from October 6," said Satrio, his son. Dono, Wednesday, October 6th.

Indro appreciates the open apology delivered by Warkopi and its management. "Apologies openly, we noted there were two times besides their discount. On Nikita Mirzani's youtube channel I saw apologizing. As a parent I will forgive," he said.

However, for content matters, Indro expressly cannot give permission. This is related to the DKI Warkop Institute's exclusive contract with Falcon Pictures.

"It's been difficult to have any discussion, the Warkop Institute explicitly does not allow it, there is no more discussion about this IPR. The door is closed because the Warkop Institute has rights, the Warkop Institute already has an exclusive agreement with PT Falcon," he said.

"So to be clear, for Warkopi and those who regulate it, stay away from the name Warkop. Because the content is beyond my responsibility. As for content, you are dealing with PH," he added.

Indro sees great potential in Warkopi's members consisting of Alfin (Indro), Sepriadi (Dono) and Alfred (Kasino). He hopes they can work creatively without Warkop's shadow.

"Believe me you have to be yourself, no one imitates success. Artists are impossible to replace, but living under someone's shadow will not achieve what you think," he messaged.

"I encourage you to be creative. Moreover, you like to joke, it's capital. If netizens say it's similar, it's because you took that path. There can't be demand if there is supply," said Indro Warkop.
