CHAPTER VIII
INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS LAW
A. Interpreting Intellectual Property Rights
IPRs fall into the category of movable objects and are attached to the legal provisions of movable
objects, including their position as a guarantee.
A firm statement with the basis of the law can at least be seen through the provisions of Article 16
Paragraph (1) of Law Number 28 Year 2014 on Copyright or hereinafter in this book referred to as the
Copyright Law which states that copyright is an intangible movable object.
IPR is a movable object that has a high potential economic value resulting from the potential efforts of
human intellectuality.
B. Copyright
Copyright is born from a process of creativity called creating. A person who carries out the process is
called the Creator. When a creator carries out the process of creating, the result of the process is called
creation. When the creation was born, that's when the exclusive rights for the Creator called Copyright
arose.
1. Created by

2. Creator and Copyright Holder
Creator according to Article 1 Point 2 is a person or several persons who individually or jointly produce a
distinctive and personal creation.
Meanwhile, Article 1 Point 4 states that the Copyright Holder is the Creator as the owner of the
Copyright, the party who receives the right legally from the Creator, or other parties who receive further
rights from the party who receives the right legally.
As a Copyright holder, the Creator is entitled to moral rights and economic rights to a creation. Otto
Hasibuan explains that Moral Rights are rights inherent in the Creator (including the perpetrator) that
cannot be eliminated or removed without any reason.
Article 5 Avat (1) of the Copyright Law explains that Moral Rights are rights that are eternally attached to
the Creator to:
a. To continue to include or not include his/her name on copies in connection with the public use of
his/her Work,
b. Using his/her alias or cover name;
c. Alter his/her creation in accordance with the propriety in society,
d. Changing the title and subtitle of the Creation: and
e. Defend his/her rights in the event of distortion of the Creation, mutilation of the Creation,
modification of the Creation, or anything that is detrimental to his/her personal honor or reputation.
The economic right is the right for the copyright owner to obtain economic benefits from the use of the
work he holds. The Creator or Copyright Holder has the Economic Right to do
a. Publishing of creations;
b. Procurement of creation in all its forms;
c. Translation of creations:
d Adapting, arranging, or transforming the Creation:
e. Distribution of the Creation or its copies
f. Performance of Creation
g. Announcement of Creation;
h. Creation Communication, and
i. Creation rental.
The position of moral rights is eternal. In contrast, economic rights are transferable.
A creation can also be realized because of a working relationship. Article 35 Paragraph (1) of the
Copyright Law states that unless otherwise agreed, the Copyright Holder of the Creation made by the
Creator in official relations, which is considered as the Creator, is a government agency.Meanwhile,
Article 36 of the Copyright Law states that unless otherwise agreed. The Creator and the Copyright
Holder of a Creation made in a working relationship or based on an order are the parties who make the
Creation.
C. Patent
The Patent Law in Article 1 Point (1) defines Patent as an exclusive right granted by the state to inventors
for their inventions in the field of technology for a certain period of time to carry out the invention
themselves or to give approval to other parties to carry it out.
Patets are closely related to inventions. Another word for invention is discovery. Article 1 Point 2 of the
Patent Law states that an Invention is an inventor's idea that is poured into a specific problem-solving
activity in the field of technology in the form of a product or process, or the improvement and
development of a product or process.
There are two types of patents, including:

Inventors and Patent Holders
Inventor according to the Patent Law is a person or several persons who jointly carry out an idea that is
poured into an activity that produces an invention (Article 1 Point (3)). The Patent Holder itself based on
Article 1 Point 6 is identified as the inventor as the Patent owner, the party who receives the right to the
Patent from the Patent owner, or other parties who receive further rights to the Patent registered in the
Patent general list.
Article 19 Paragraph (1) of the Patent Law states that the Patent Holder has the exclusive right to
exercise the Patent owned by him and to prohibit other parties without his consent.
Based on the exclusive rights for patent holders, it can also be concluded that patents can take the form
of products or processes. Patents can also take the form of formulas, such as medicines.
