Abstract

The vast economic turnover in the showbiz industry, which consistently involves numerous celebrities in merchandising activities as a form of product and service marketing, does not always yield positive impacts for the celebrities themselves. Numerous cases involve the unauthorized use of a celebrity persona, often resulting in legal disputes. This study aims to delve deeper into the legal protection of celebrity personas, particularly regarding their use by third parties, which may cause economic and moral losses for the persona owners. Employing normative legal research methods with a statute approach and conceptual approach, this research examines the issue from the perspective of intellectual property law in Indonesia. The study concludes that the protection of celebrity personas under intellectual property rights can be accommodated within copyright law by categorizing personas into "natural persona" and "created persona," enabling their protection under Indonesia's Copyright Act.

Abstract

Indonesia possesses rich traditional medicinal knowledge that has been transmitted across generations and constitutes an essential part of local communities’ cultural heritage. However, the modern commercial use of traditional medicines often occurs without fair benefit-sharing, leading to practices such as biopiracy and misappropriation. This research examines the adequacy of Indonesia’s legal framework in protecting traditional medicines against such exploitative practices. The findings demonstrate that despite Indonesia’s ratification of various international instruments—including the Convention on Biological Diversity, the TRIPs Agreement, and the Nagoya Protocol—legal protection for traditional medicinal knowledge remains fragmented and insufficient. Existing national regulations, particularly Law Number 36 of 2009 on Health and the Patent Law, provide only limited and indirect protection. Patent-based protection is difficult to apply due to the requirements of novelty and inventive steps, which are incompatible with the communal and hereditary nature of traditional knowledge. Although Article 26 of the Patent Law acknowledges traditional knowledge, it fails to offer comprehensive protection or ensure equitable benefit-sharing for local communities. This study concludes that Indonesia urgently requires a specific sui generis or umbrella legal framework to protect traditional medicines against biopiracy and misappropriation while ensuring justice, legal certainty, and fair distribution of benefits.
