Shortcomings of Geographical Indication in Indonesia: A Critical Appraisal
Abstract
Indonesia, an agricultural and maritime country, is known as an emerald on the equator because of the potential and diversity of its natural resources. Coffee, one of the superior products for geographical indications, deserves protection, recognition, and respect. However, out of the 92 registrations for the Geographical Indication product, it seems that the public has not felt the optimal benefits. This is certainly not in accordance with the mandate of Law No. 20 of 2016 concerning Trademarks and Geographical Indications. This study aimed to analyze the shortcomings of Geographical Indications in Indonesia. The research method is predominantly normative legal research, focusing on library research using two approaches: the statutory approach and the comparative approach. The results of this study, it is known that several references show that providing strong support to Geographical Indications for coffee products, including carrying out promotional efforts can produce economic progress. However, this is not the case in Indonesia, as this study found little evidence and a limited likelihood of tangible economic benefits for coffee growers resulting from current GIs in Indonesia. Finally, there is no reliable and credible evidence showing a significant correlation between registration, protection, and promotion of products that may effectively improve the quality of people’s lives. This study suggests thatt is important for the government to work hard to facilitate Regional Governments to make preparations, arrangements, and accommodate everything to support and increase the productivity of Geographical Indications in their respective regions by involving relevant stakeholders.
Keywords: Geographical Indication, Protection, Trademark.
