Abstract

A collective right that communities have over their intellectual property is referred to as communal intellectual property. This kind of right has been recognized by certain international organizations, notably United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization and the World Intellectual Property Organization. Some national laws, like those of the United States and New Zealand, have recognized the existence of this right. The foundation for cultural aspects protection in Indonesia is established by the Constitution of 1945. Arrangements for Communal Intellectual Property protection are dispersed over many legislations, including the 2014 Copyright Law and the 2017 the Minister of Law and Human Rights Regulation. The process for recording and inventory is critical for preserving Communal Intellectual Property and avoiding claims of commercial usage by third parties without consent. This study will use socio-legal research to examine the recording and inventory process, as well as the problems encountered throughout the registration procedure at the National Data Center.
