When facing globalization, one of the important concerns for Indonesia is ensuring protection of its intellectual property (IP). However, due to lack of awareness, the level of IP registration in Indonesia is still low.
Addressing this issue, Dhaniswara, Head of Indonesia Local Business Association (HIPPI), stated that Indonesians are pessimistic that IP registration will be useful, because IP infringement still occurs. In addition, the complexity and duration of the registration—almost 14 months—also makes it less enticing to register.
“There should be an innovation of intellectual property registration,” Dhaniswara said during a discussion entitled “Intellectual Property as Country’s Future Asset,” in Jakarta (25/4).
The issue of registration also concerns franchise businesses. According to Minister of Trade Regulation No. 53/M-DAG/PER/8/2012 (Regulation), franchise businesses are required to register their intellectual property.
However, Evita Supit, Head of Indonesia Franchise and License Association, stated that the complexity of franchise registration at the Ministry of Trade is the main obstacle for franchise businesses.
“Many of our members complain about the registration process at the Ministry of Trade,” she added.
Similar to Dhaniswara, Evita also suggested that the registration process needs to be simplified.
During the same event, Jusak Irwan Sutiono, Delegate for Indonesia Recording Industry Association (ASIRI), stated that IP infringement affects the music recording sector the most.
Jusak predicted that the music industry will cease to exist in three to four years as a result of the infringement.
“There are currently 16 million illegal Internet music downloads per day resulting in financial losses of 16 billion rupiah,” he concluded.
