This study aims to analyze the consistency of the judge's decision in the trademark disparity dispute by referring to the first to file principle. Judges' decisions often leave the applicable "First to File" provisions and take into account the well-known factors and subjectivity of the Judges, so that in some decisions they often clash. This research method is designed with an analytical descriptive approach with a doctrinal approach. The theory used is trademark law, where in decision-making there must be a basis for constitutive principles, based on justice, brand benefits, and legal certainty. The results of this study show that Judges must have a similar perspective regarding equality in the main part of the Trademark Law. Then, the Judge must uphold legal certainty and brand protection in decision-making. This is related to the ability to check the application of the law. In addition, as a support for the Judge, it is necessary to provide the availability of data and facts so that the verdict does not harm the first registrant. The judge can also give a different decision in the cancellation of the trademark, if there is bad faith, former employees, and related to a well-known brand.
Keywords : Trademark Disputes; First to File Principle; Judges' Decisions; Legal Certainty; Trademark Protection.
