- Abstract
Indonesia’s potentiality currently enhances significantly of its local products. Those are necessary to be protected due to their attachment to their locals, man, and natural resources. By geographical indication (GI), local products should be protected from counterfeit or infringement from other illegal parties of other countries. Gayo or Toraja coffee have been registered by Japanese and the Netherlands companies, which responded by Indonesia through the prohibition of words Gayo and Toraja to use. This lesson learned from these cases, Indonesia sees the importance of geographical indication protection. It is not easy to protect Indonesia’s GI. It was shown by the facts that are, unfortunately, many obstacles to register 1000 GI. By early 2021, Indonesia only has below 100 registered GI. In the meantime, Indonesia had enacted Law No. 14 of 1997 of Trademark, which has been revoked by Law No. 16 of 2020 of Trademark and GI. It could be said that the failure is due to the lack of the importance of GI protection of Indonesian people and government. Moreover, the registration system of GI contributes to the Indonesian failure. By learning of other countries’ experiences, GI is usefully to protect local products and improve the quality of life of local people’s economy. The critical success of GI protection lies in the cooperation between the government and local people. The cooperation will accelerate the realization of GI’ protection.
