The Denza trademark dispute case involving BYD in Indonesia has officially been settled, with the Indonesian Supreme Court (MA) rejecting BYD's appeal regarding the Denza trademark dispute. This ruling upholds the previous decision of the Central Jakarta District Court, meaning BYD's lawsuit against PT Worcas Nusantara Abadi for using the Denza name has been completely lost. Prior to this, the Central Jakarta District Court had issued a first-instance verdict in April 2025, fully dismissing BYD's lawsuit and ordering BYD to bear the court costs of IDR 1.07 million.
In response to the Supreme Court's final ruling, BYD Indonesia has finally responded. The Head of Public and Government Affairs at BYD Indonesia stated that the company respects the current judicial process in Indonesia but emphasized that the case is not completely over. He explained that the verdict does not determine that the Denza trademark does not belong to BYD, but rather there is a disagreement in the legal entity identification. Currently, BYD is still studying and evaluating further legal actions, while clarifying that it has legally held the Danza trademark rights in Indonesia. He further explained that BYD owns the Denza trademark rights globally, and this trademark dispute in Indonesia is a risk often encountered when entering new markets, also making BYD more familiar with Indonesia's investment environment. He emphasized that despite the trademark dispute, BYD's commitment to deepening its presence in the Indonesian market remains unchanged, and it will continue to create added value for Indonesia's automotive industry with real products and technology.
Public information shows that Danza has been officially registered in the database of the Directorate General of Intellectual Property at the Ministry of Law and Human Rights. The relevant application was submitted on August 11, 2025, with registration number IDM001414073, classified under international class 12, covering vehicle products such as brake pads, bodies, buses, motor vehicles, cars, autonomous vehicles, motorcycles, chassis, trucks, and forklifts. Additionally, BYD has applied for the Danza trademark under class 37 with number IDM001426542, covering services such as vehicle repair, washing, lubrication, maintenance, polishing, and battery charging. In the appendix of the Ministry of Home Affairs' regulation on motor vehicle tax bases, the original Denza models have been uniformly using the Danza name, meaning BYD has officially adopted the new trademark to replace Denza in the Indonesian market.
