Methods of the Research: The method used in analyzing and reviewing is normative juridical using a conceptual framework and legal materials derived from literature studies to solve problems qualitatively.Results of the Research: The results of this study indicate that the brand is a distinguishing mark that must be protected. However, in Indonesia it only protects registered trademarks, it is hoped that in the future Indonesia can provide fair and equitable legal protection for a brand through a combined protection system between a declarative system and a constitutive system. The combined protection system which is intended as a right to a mark is granted to the first user of a mark provided that the first user can prove that he is the first user, and registration is proof of use.
