- On Monday, 3 December 2018, the House of Representatives (“House”) passed the Bill on Deposits of Printed and Recorded Creations (“Creations Deposit Law”) into law. The Creations Deposit Law repeals and replaces its predecessor, Law No. 4 of 1990.
- The government is planning to socialize the new Creations Deposit Law through various media in order to raise awareness among the general public regarding the possibility of depositing their creations as a part of the country’s intellectual development. In addition, the government is also obliged to issue an implementing regulation to the Creations Deposit Law within a three-year period.
- House Member, Hetifah Sjaifudian, recently made a statement which touched on several of the key issues which are addressed by the Creations Deposit Law, specifically: 1) Printed and recorded creations (“Creations”) are to be the benchmark of country’s intellectual development; 2) Subjects of the Creations Deposit Law include publishers and producers, both Indonesian and foreign citizens; 3) Mechanisms for the organization of Creations; 4) Rewards for those who deposit their Creations; 5) Provision of government funding; and 6) Public participation as regards the deposit of Creations.
