JAKARTA - Arc'teryx Equipment, a division of Amer Sports Canada Inc. (Arc'teryx) and a global design company specializing in clothing and equipment, expressed deep disappointment at the Jakarta Commercial Court's decision on December 30, 2025 which rejected the trademark cancellation lawsuit against the Chinese company that registered the Arc'teryx brand in Indonesia without the approval of Arc'teryx.
"We are very disappointed with the decision of the Jakarta Commercial Court. The decision does not contain an examination of the similarity of the two disputed brands, nor does it consider the bad faith for the registration of the brand by the Chinese-based company. These two aspects are usually key elements in a trademark cancellation lawsuit. Arc'teryx has submitted significant evidence including the fact that we have registered the Arc'teryx brand in many countries since 1992," explained Cameron Clark, Head of Legal Arc'teryx, Friday, January 9.
Arc'teryx believes that this ruling does not reflect justice, given the company's position as a long-standing global brand owner. In addition, global consumer knowledge, including consumers in Indonesia, has confirmed Arc'teryx as a brand originating from Canada.
The ruling has the potential to raise concerns among other companies interested in considering investments or business opportunities in Indonesia related to legal certainty in brand protection.
Arc'teryx remains committed to protecting the integrity of the Arc'teryx brand globally. The company will take legal action through a cassation filing in Indonesia. This step is considered important to protect consumers, avoid public confusion, and ensure the right to the Arc'teryx brand in any country is not granted to parties other than the legitimate owner.
