  3. IP Protection • Innovations increase our quality of life • Motivate innovation by giving exclusive rights • Ideally:A balance between incentive to innovate and public benefits

  4. What Drives People to Innovate? • Financial reward • Fame & fortune • Gratification • Necessity • Contribution to humanity

  5. “Problems” • To find “balance” and “fairness” • What is fairness? • Copying a page of a book? • How about a chapter? Half of the book? • For educational purposes only?

  6. Digital Problems • Digitalized products • Music / audio • Movies / video • Software / programs • Book, written documents • They are all numbers! • It is easier to copy digital works without degrading the quality of the original and produce same quality duplicates

  7. Extended Problems • Only big and rich companies / institutions can register (patents) • Poor countries / people are at disadvantage • Lack of patent officers who understand new (emerging) technology • Different interpretations • Software patents • Internet Domain Names • What is “property”?

  8. Indonesia’s Problems • Create expensive products • Compare price of MS Office to salary of ordinary people • Prices of books, references, journals are too expensive for students, lecturers • Local companies (SME) cannot compete world wide without infringing some IPRs • Little interest in registering works (no incentive) • Cultural barrier: little interest in written documentation

  9. New Movements • Free Software Foundation, Open Source, GNU Public License (GPL) • Open Course Ware, open journals? (Firstmoday.dk) • Anti (Against) Intellectual Property

  10. Indonesia’s Approach • Must accept globalization, respect IPRs • Forced to adopt TRIPS, WIPO, etc. • Must be smart in implementation • Encourage the use of free software or pay for commercial software • Encourage innovation (but how?)

  11. Concluding Remarks • Long way to go, but must take the first step(s) • Must be smart in implementing IP regulation
