The legal protection of well-known trademarks in Indonesia still faces various challenges, especially in overcoming passing off actions that can harm trademark owners and mislead consumers. The doctrine of likelihood of confusion becomes the main instrument in determining the extent to which the similarity of a brand can cause confusion among consumers. This research aims to analyze the implementation of legal protection of well-known trademarks from the act of passing off in Indonesia, focusing on the Golden Goose case. The research method used is doctrinal legal research with a statute approach and case approach. The data used is secondary data obtained through a literature study of legal regulations, court decisions, and relevant academic literature. The results show that although Indonesia has adopted the doctrine of likelihood of confusion in the Trademark Law, its application still faces various obstacles. The first to file system adopted in trademark registration opens up opportunities for parties with bad intentions to register trademarks that resemble well-known trademarks. This can be seen in the Golden Goose case, where another party registered a similar mark before the legal owner registered in Indonesia, triggering a legal dispute. The court eventually canceled the mark based on significant similarity and potential consumer confusion. This study confirms that it is necessary to strengthen the legal protection mechanism of famous marks, including increased supervision in trademark registration as well as strengthening regulations to prevent passing off.

Marketing is the backbone of a business’s existence. Various ideas, creativity, and innovations in marketing continue to evolve in different forms. To attract a large number of consumers, some businesses engage in overclaim marketing. While this strategy may bring positive outcomes for some companies, it can also have negative consequences for others. One brand that has practiced overclaim marketing is Daviena Skincare. This study aims to analyze the impact of overclaim marketing on consumer trust in Daviena Skincare products. The research was conducted using a qualitative descriptive approach, with data obtained through digital tracing and observation. The findings indicate that overclaim marketing in the skincare industry, as practiced by Daviena Skincare, has negatively affected consumer trust. The overclaims identified include promises of instant results, false claims about premium ingredients, and unverified testimonials. An investigation by Doctor Detective revealed significant discrepancies between marketing claims and the actual product composition, such as Niacinamide, which was advertised at 10% but was not detected in laboratory tests. These findings contradict the marketed product benefits, leading to consumer disappointment and decreased brand loyalty. This phenomenon underscores the urgency for brands to be more transparent and ethical in their marketing strategies. Therefore, overclaim marketing practices must be eliminated to maintain the integrity of the industry and protect consumers’ rights to accurate information and products that align with their claims.
