Kata Kunci:
Copyright, infringement, protectAbstrak
Copyright is an important aspect of intellectual property rights, especially for protecting artistic creations and recognizing the ownership of creators. These rights empower authors with comprehensive control over their works, ensuring they receive appropriate recognition and financial compensation for their contributions. The case of Malaysia's claims over batik, a traditional Indonesian textile art, illustrates a significant challenge to these rights. Malaysia's assertion of ownership over batik, despite its deep cultural roots in Indonesia, exemplifies the critical nature of this issue. This misattribution raises serious concerns regarding copyright infringement and the respect for intellectual property rights. Article 38 of Law No. 28 of 2014 explicitly recognizes traditional cultural expressions, including batik, is specifically mentioned as having distinct protections due to its cultural significance and artistic value. This legal framework aims to safeguard Indonesia's rich cultural heritage from unauthorized claims and misappropriation by other nations. The study seeks to explore how Indonesia can effectively defend its cultural heritage against Malaysian infringement claims concerning batik. It highlights the importance of robust legal mechanisms and international cooperation in addressing such disputes. Furthermore, it emphasizes the need for Indonesia to assert its rights within the framework of the World Trade Organization, reinforcing its commitment to protecting its cultural expressions on a global scale.
