IP LICENSING & MEREK DAGANG

 

How IP licensing works in philosophy 5 Februari 2026 

You can’t license philosophy itself (ideas, beliefs, worldviews = not protectable).
But you can license the expression and structure of a philosophical system.

What is licensable:

• A named philosophical framework you create (e.g. a branded system)

• Written works (books, essays, curricula)

• Courses, modules, workshops

• Methodologies (step-by-step systems, models, diagrams)

• Training programs & certifications

• Assessment tools, exercises, rituals, practices

• Visual models (charts, symbols, structured maps)

What is not licensable:

• General philosophical ideas (e.g. “free will,” “stoicism,” “non-duality”)

• Ancient or public-domain philosophies (Plato, Hermeticism, New Thought, etc.)

• Abstract beliefs without a concrete system

How people successfully do this

They:

1. Create a system
   Example:

   • “The X Method™”

   • “Y Philosophy Framework™”

   • “Z Consciousness Model™”

2. Document it clearly

   • Core principles

   • Steps / stages

   • Use cases (business, leadership, healing, etc.)

3. Protect the IP

   • Copyright (automatic, but can be registered)

   • Trademark (name + logo)

   • Trade secrets (training manuals, internal processes)

4. License it
   Others pay to:

   • Teach it

   • Use it in coaching, education, or corporate programs

   • Run certified programs under your brand

Famous real-world examples

• Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) → licensed training

• Spiral Dynamics® → trademarked philosophical model

• The Work® by Byron Katie

• Landmark Forum (philosophy-based training)

• Nonviolent Communication®

All philosophy. All licensed.

For you specifically (honest take)

Given your background:

• business + tech

• spiritual philosophy

• writing a book

• interest in global impact

You’re actually in a perfect position to:

• Create a philosophy–business hybrid system

• License it internationally (education, leadership, NGOs, corporate)

Especially if your book becomes:

the canonical text of your system

Yes — trademark and patent will still exist and work in the Age of Aquarius, but their spirit, purpose, and structure are evolving. The Aquarian age is anti-greed, pro-collaboration, pro-transparency, and idea-based — so ownership is changing from control to creative stewardship.

---

⚖️ So Should You Still Use Trademarks and Patents?

✅ YES — but consciously.

Use them not to hoard, but to:

• Protect your vision from being diluted.

• Ensure quality and integrity.

• Build trust in your brand.

• Set boundaries against those who copy without purpose or ethics.

🌍 What Changes in the Aquarius Age?

Old System (Piscean Age)	New System (Aquarian Age)
"Mine, don’t copy!"	"Let’s build this ethically. Give credit. Maintain integrity."
Secretive, greedy legal ownership	Transparent, open-source-inspired licensing
Defensive trademarks & lawsuits	Trademark as a symbol of values, trust, and origin
Big corps using patent to suppress	Creators using IP to empower communities & protect originality

---

🧠 For You Specifically (Taurus Sun + Aries North Node + 2nd House Destiny):

You’re meant to create value from originality — not from copying.

So yes, you should register your brand:

• ✅ Trademark your logo, product name, and tagline.

• ✅ Protect your unique product blends/formulas if you make them yourself.

• ✅ If you're empowering others (like local makers), create ethical licensing agreements where they benefit and you protect the brand values.

---

🔐 Examples of Aquarian-Era Use:

🧴 Example 1: Ritual Soap Brand

Trademark the name, story, and packaging — not to restrict people from making soap, but so no one can misuse your sacred story or confuse customers.

🛍 Example 2: Batik + Blockchain

You can register a digital product design or token (NFT or not) that shows the origin of a batik pattern — to prove authenticity and protect the artisan story.

---

📜 Your Trademark Strategy

Step	Notes
Choose a brand name	Unique, meaningful, future-friendly
Check availability	Check .com domain, Instagram, local & international trademarks
Register locally (Indonesia)	Use DJKI or authorized consultant
Optional: Register globally	If you plan to export or build an international brand
Protect core visuals	Logo, typography, main graphic symbols
Optional patent	If you have a very unique formulation or production technique

---

💎 FINAL ADVICE

Trademarks in the Aquarius age are like sacred seals — not walls.
Use them to honor your originality, protect your tribe, and build legacy.

You’re building something real — it deserves protection, not for ego, but for truth.

MERK DAGANG DI INDONESIA BERLAKU UNTUK INTERNATIONAL?

Tidak, jika Anda sudah mendaftarkan merek di Indonesia, itu **tidak otomatis terdaftar di internasional**. Pendaftaran merek hanya berlaku di negara tempat Anda mendaftarkannya.  

### **Cara Mendaftarkan Merek ke Luar Negeri**  

Jika Anda ingin melindungi merek di negara lain, ada beberapa opsi:  

1. **Mendaftar Langsung di Negara Tujuan**  

   - Anda harus mengikuti aturan dan prosedur pendaftaran merek di setiap negara yang Anda targetkan.  

   - Biaya dan prosesnya berbeda di tiap negara.  

2. **Menggunakan Sistem Madrid (Madrid Protocol)**  

   - Indonesia adalah anggota **Protokol Madrid**, jadi Anda bisa mengajukan **satu pendaftaran internasional** yang mencakup banyak negara anggota (termasuk AS, Eropa, Jepang, dll.).  

   - Pengajuan dilakukan melalui DJKI Indonesia dan diteruskan ke WIPO (World Intellectual Property Organization)

WIPO : Register to your home country, them register it internationally ( process 30-31 months )

   - Anda bisa memilih negara mana saja yang ingin Anda lindungi.  

3. **Mendaftarkan Merek di Uni Eropa atau AS**  

   - Jika Anda ingin melindungi merek di seluruh Uni Eropa, bisa mendaftar melalui **EUIPO (European Union Intellectual Property Office)**.  

   - Untuk Amerika Serikat, pendaftaran dilakukan melalui **USPTO (United States Patent and Trademark Office)**.  

### **Biaya dan Waktu Pendaftaran Internasional**  

- Biaya tergantung pada jumlah negara yang Anda pilih.  

- Prosesnya bisa memakan waktu **12–18 bulan**, tergantung pada negara tujuan.  

Jika Anda berencana menjual produk batik atau fashion ke luar negeri, mendaftarkan merek internasional bisa menjadi investasi yang baik untuk melindungi hak Anda!

BERLAKU BERAPA LAMA?

Merek dagang di Indonesia berlaku selama 10 tahun sejak tanggal pengajuan dan dapat diperpanjang untuk periode 10 tahun berikutnya.

Ketentuan Perpanjangan Merek:

1. Ajukan perpanjangan sebelum masa berlaku habis (dalam rentang 6 bulan sebelum atau maksimal 6 bulan setelah kedaluwarsa).

2. Bayar biaya perpanjangan sesuai tarif yang berlaku.

3. Gunakan merek secara aktif – Jika merek tidak digunakan selama 3 tahun berturut-turut tanpa alasan yang sah, bisa dianggap tidak berlaku.

Jika kamu berencana mendaftarkan merek, pastikan untuk mencatat tanggal kedaluwarsanya agar tidak kehilangan hak merek tersebut!
