Indonesia | Constitutional Court restores restriction on second medical use patents
Indonesia's Constitutional Court has reinstated restrictions on patenting second medical uses of known products, reversing a 2024 reform that had opened pathways for such protection. The decision creates a critical distinction for pharmaceutical patent applicants based on filing dates, with applications submitted during the brief window when the restriction was lifted receiving different treatment than those filed after the Court's ruling.

Indonesian Court Reinstates Anti-Evergreening Patent Provision
Indonesia’s Constitutional Court (Mahkamah Konstitusi) has reinstated a key provision limiting pharmaceutical patent protection, signaling a renewed commitment to balancing patent rights with public access to medicines. In its ruling to Case No. 255/PUU-XXIII/2025, the court partially granted a petition for judicial review of Law No. 65 of 2024, which had amended the country’s Patent Law, and ordered the restoration of a provision that had excluded certain pharmaceutical inventions from patentability.
