Abstract

Indeed, architecture is a work of art that is highly valued and economically valuable. An architect who can produce architectural works and get world recognition is certainly a technical master in making it and someone who has a taste of an artist. However, few architectural works have similarities, so how can we measure that the later works are independent or imitations. Therefore, this study intends to answer two problems: how to regulate the protection of architectural works in Indonesia today and how to describe and measure the concept of substantial similarity in the protection of architectural works. This study aims to offer changes to the Copyright Law in protecting the originality of architectural works with the concept of substantial similarity in Indonesia. The research method used is juridical normative through literature search studies using primary, secondary, and tertiary legal materials. From the research results, it can be concluded that the Copyright Law does not yet regulate in detail how the qualitative measures of acts are considered an imitation of architectural works. Therefore, Indonesia needs to technically regulate imitation measures that are considered substantively in violation of the overall shape, spatial composition, and design of architectural work through changes and renewal of the Copyright Law.
