Many large companies initially moved as successful startups and became leading companies in Indonesia. And basically Startups in Indonesia are certainly protected by laws and government regulations, therefore to be able to operate legally in Indonesia requires protection of Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) which includes registration of Copyright, Trademarks, and Patents for Startups who create new or innovative ideas / products / findings.

The material presented consists of 3 (three) material sessions with different perspectives delivered by the speakers in accordance with their respective fields.

He explained that one of the consequences of Indonesia ratifying the Agreement on Establishing the WTO through Law No. 7 of 1994 with a schedule of commitment dated January 1, 2000, is that Indonesia must agree to all agendas held by the WTO. The purpose of establishing the WTO is to create a Fair Competition, and in order to create fair trade competition, legally the business objectives of the WTO can be achieved, one of which is through the IP Law which covers all laws and regulations in the human rights sector.

HaKI (Intellectual Property Rights) was formed with the aim of protecting intellectual creations from acts of forgery and piracy. Because since the creation was made, IPR protection has been there since then, because basically Copyright originating from human intellectual creative resources is part of Human Rights so that the nature of protection is automatic protection, but because it is difficult to prove it, the State facilitates recording. creation, to obtain preliminary evidence of copyright.

The competitiveness of a company is built not only based on the final appearance (finishing touch) of the product being marketed and how to build the brand image of the service, but what is no less important is built through the protection of its IPR. With regard to Copyrights, Patents and Trademarks. Because without IPR protection, business competition will be futile.
