A Patent knowhow licence lets companies share the practical knowledge and technical secrets behind their patented inventions. This goes beyond just the patent itself - it includes valuable insider tips, manufacturing processes, and trade secrets that make the technology work effectively in real-world applications.

Under Indonesian law, particularly Law No. 13 of 2016 on Patents, these agreements help local businesses access foreign technology while protecting both parties' interests. The licence typically covers confidential information like production methods, quality control procedures, and specialized techniques that aren't publicly disclosed in patent documents. This transfer of expertise plays a crucial role in Indonesia's industrial development and technological advancement.

Consider getting a Patent knowhow licence when you need more than just permission to use someone's patented technology - you need their expertise to make it work properly. This is especially valuable for Indonesian manufacturers looking to implement complex foreign technologies or production methods that require specific technical knowledge.

This licence becomes essential when starting new manufacturing operations, upgrading existing facilities, or entering technical partnerships with overseas companies. For example, an Indonesian pharmaceutical company might need detailed production protocols and quality control procedures from their foreign partner, beyond what's described in the patent itself. Under Indonesian technology transfer regulations, this agreement ensures you receive comprehensive technical support while protecting both parties' intellectual property.

• Exclusive Patent knowhow licences: Grant complete control to a single licensee in Indonesia, often used by multinational companies establishing local manufacturing facilities
• Non-exclusive licences: Allow multiple Indonesian companies to access the same technical knowledge, common in standardized manufacturing processes
• Industry-specific variations: Tailored for sectors like pharmaceuticals, automotive, or electronics, with specialized technical requirements and compliance measures
• Limited-scope licences: Focus on specific aspects of production or quality control, useful for targeted technology adoption
• Comprehensive packages: Combine patent rights with extensive technical training, documentation, and ongoing support

• Patent Owners: Usually foreign companies or inventors who provide their technical knowledge and manufacturing secrets alongside patent rights
• Indonesian Licensee Companies: Local manufacturers or businesses seeking to implement patented technologies with proper technical guidance
• IP Lawyers: Draft and negotiate Patent knowhow licence terms, ensuring compliance with Indonesian technology transfer regulations
• Technical Experts: Help define the scope of technical knowledge transfer and provide implementation support
• Quality Control Officers: Ensure proper implementation of licensed processes and maintain technical standards

• Patent Details: Gather complete information about the patent, including registration numbers and technical specifications
• Technical Scope: Define exactly which manufacturing processes, techniques, and trade secrets will be shared
• Territory Rights: Specify geographical limitations within Indonesia for using the licensed technology
• Quality Standards: Document required quality control measures and technical benchmarks
• Training Requirements: Outline necessary technical training, support, and documentation needs
• Compliance Check: Review Indonesian technology transfer regulations and patent law requirements
• Confidentiality Terms: Define clear protection measures for shared technical knowledge

• Parties' Details: Full legal names and addresses of the patent owner and Indonesian licensee
• Patent Identification: Specific patent numbers, registration details, and technical scope covered
• Knowhow Description: Detailed outline of technical knowledge, processes, and trade secrets being shared
• Territory Rights: Geographic scope within Indonesia where the licence applies
• Duration Terms: Clear start date and licence period, including renewal conditions
• Confidentiality Provisions: Specific measures to protect shared technical information
• Quality Standards: Required technical benchmarks and compliance measures
• Technology Transfer Terms: Training, documentation, and support requirements under Indonesian regulations

A Patent knowhow licence differs significantly from a Patent assignment agreement in both scope and purpose. While both deal with patent rights, they serve fundamentally different functions in Indonesia's intellectual property landscape.

• Ownership Transfer: A patent assignment permanently transfers ownership rights, while a knowhow licence only grants permission to use technical knowledge while maintaining original ownership
• Scope of Rights: Knowhow licences focus on practical implementation knowledge and trade secrets, beyond just the patent rights covered in assignment agreements
• Duration: Assignments are permanent transfers, while knowhow licences typically have specific time limits and renewal terms
• Technical Support: Knowhow licences usually include ongoing technical assistance and training provisions, which aren't typically part of assignment agreements
• Regulatory Requirements: Under Indonesian law, knowhow licences face additional scrutiny regarding technology transfer regulations, unlike straightforward assignments
