Abstract :
This research is aimed to examine the implications of Intellectual
Property Rights on economic benefit gains. An owner of Intellectual Property
Rights as a creative subject must get a guarantee of law protection on his or her
work.
The result shows that the form of law protection of intellectual property
rights is that the owner of intellectual property rights in performing his or her
rights must be protected by law. The economic rights owned by the owner will
gain economic benefits if it is performed. The rights include rights to use, to
produce, to publish, to copy, to import, to export and to give license (permit) to
another party that is intended to make use of the intellectual property. In a
condition of law violation, the Law of Intellectual Property Rights as a
preventive effort will give a right to an owner of intellectual property rights to
sue on civil, criminal, or administrative law. The sanctions on the law breaker
are also already written in each law of intellectual property rights that includes
copy right, brand right, patent right, graphic design right, and integrated circuit
lay-out right. The reason why an owner does not automatically gain economic
benefits of his or her work is because he or she does not use the economic
rights that he or she has. Some matters causing it are high enough cost of
production, difficult licence, and hard competition.
The law protection and economic benefits are two essentials of
intellectual property rights. An owner of intellectual property rights is a
creative subject that should have those two matters.
