Protection of Exclusive Rights for Inventors in Order to Prevent Intellectual Property Infringement

This research was conducted to determine protection and law enforcement practices related to exclusive rights for inventors in the context of preventing intellectual property violations in Indonesia. In practice, patents in Indonesia adhere to the rules of Law Number 13 of 2016 concerning patents which contain articles regarding the protection of an invention and sanctions if there is a violation of intellectual property, both criminal and civil. The method used in this research is a normative juridical legal research method. The result of this research is that the Patent Law in Indonesia has been regulated in such a way as to protect inventors' inventions. But unfortunately the rules and practices do not work straight so there are still legal violations as happened at PT. FIRSTWAVE, and therefore it is necessary to update the Patent Law in Indonesia.
