THE ROLE OF THE GOVERNMENT IN OVERCOMING PLAGIARISM AND THEFT OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGTS

Abstract

The purpose of writing this article is to find out the government's role in overcoming rampant plagiarism among academics and theft of intellectual property rights in Indonesia. Plagiarism and intellectual property rights are essentially the same as other material property rights, namely giving rights to creators or owners to benefit from the investment of their intellectual work in the field of industrial property and copyrighted works which are called copyrights. Cases of plagiarism and violations of intellectual property rights in Indonesia cannot be underestimated. As a result of these violations, not only will the country suffer losses and threaten investment flows, but Indonesia may also be threatened with an embargo on its export products. Technological developments, especially developments in digital technology, are considered to support the growth of plagiarism and violations of intellectual property rights. The method used is descriptive analysis, where this article tries to interpret and describe the existing data with the situation that occurs to get the relationship between objects. Law enforcement in the field of intellectual property rights is highly dependent on the enforcement process in general, so if the law enforcement process is generally good, law enforcement on intellectual property will also be good.
