Abstract

Intellectual property protection is a right that must be granted by the state to the holder of a work and the increasing number of intellectual property rights problems such as theft of a work or indirect theft, for example, plagiarism, means that it is very necessary to protect every work produced. This research uses a literature review. This research aims to provide information on the results of analyses related to the protection of intellectual property which has caused many problems related to intellectual property. The results of this research show that the blockchain system must also be utilized by the Indonesian Government to become a central database for virtual intellectual property and public domain collections. Legal protection in Indonesia still needs to be strengthened on the law enforcement side to provide legal certainty for stakeholders so that public confidence arises in registering their intellectual property.
