Abstract

This study examines the legal protection of non-participating creditors in the homologation of Suspension of Debt Payment Obligations (PKPU) under Indonesian bankruptcy law. Although homologation binds all creditors, including those who do not participate in the proceedings, Law Number 37 of 2004 primarily emphasizes procedural legitimacy through voting and quorum requirements without explicitly assessing the fairness of outcomes. This research employs a normative juridical method using statutory and conceptual approaches supported by grammatical, systematic, and teleological interpretation of relevant legal provisions and doctrines. The analysis reveals that the current PKPU framework allows non-participating concurrent creditors to receive substantially lower recoveries than they would reasonably obtain in bankruptcy, thereby conflicting with the principles of paritas creditorum and pari passu pro rata parte embodied in Articles 1131 and 1132 of the Indonesian Civil Code. Furthermore, the substantive review authority granted to judges under Article 285 has not been fully utilized to protect vulnerable creditors. This study proposes strengthening the application of the paritas creditorum principle through an Indonesian version of the best interests of creditors test as a fairness benchmark during homologation, ensuring that restructuring promotes legal certainty while safeguarding equal treatment and distributive justice for all concurrent creditors.

Abstract

AbstractTrademark applications filed in bad faith remain an important issue in Indonesian trademark law. The problem is not limited to the administrative process of registration, but also concerns legal certainty, the protection of legitimate trademark owners, and the creation of fair business competition. This study examines how Indonesian law regulates and assesses bad faith in trademark registration, and how far this regulation is consistent with international trademark protection standards, particularly the Paris Convention and the TRIPs Agreement. The legal issue addressed in this study arises from the absence of clear and consistent criteria for determining bad faith, both during trademark examination and in trademark dispute resolution. The novelty of this study lies in positioning good faith as a substantive standard, rather than merely a formal requirement in trademark registration. In this sense, good faith is used to assess whether an application has been filed honestly, reasonably, and without the intention of taking advantage of another party’s reputation or legal rights. This research uses a normative juridical method with statutory, conceptual, and comparative approaches. The legal materials examined include the Indonesian Law on Trademarks and Geographical Indications, the Paris Convention, the TRIPs Agreement, legal doctrines on trademark protection, and relevant court decisions concerning bad faith. The findings show that Indonesian law already provides a normative basis for refusing or cancelling trademarks filed in bad faith. However, its application still faces difficulties in interpretation, proof, and consistency of legal reasoning. Therefore, clearer indicators of bad faith are needed, along with stronger substantive examination by the trademark office, greater consistency in court decisions, and better harmonization between Indonesian trademark law and international trademark protection standards. These improvements are necessary to prevent opportunistic trademark registration, protect legitimate trademark owners, and strengthen legal certainty within Indonesia’s trademark protection system. Abstrak Permohonan pendaftaran merek yang diajukan dengan itikad tidak baik masih menjadi salah satu persoalan penting dalam hukum merek Indonesia. Persoalan ini tidak hanya berkaitan dengan aspek administratif pendaftaran, tetapi juga menyangkut kepastian hukum, perlindungan terhadap pemilik merek yang sah, dan terciptanya persaingan usaha yang sehat. Penelitian ini membahas bagaimana hukum Indonesia mengatur dan menilai itikad tidak baik dalam pendaftaran merek, serta sejauh mana pengaturan tersebut telah sejalan dengan standar perlindungan merek dalam instrumen internasional, khususnya Paris Convention dan TRIPs Agreement. Permasalahan yang hendak dijawab dalam penelitian ini berangkat dari belum  adanya ukuran yang cukup tegas dan konsisten dalam menentukan adanya itikad tidak baik, baik pada tahap pemeriksaan merek maupun dalam proses penyelesaian sengketa. Kebaruan penelitian ini terletak pada penempatan prinsip itikad baik sebagai standar substantif, bukan sekadar syarat formal dalam pendaftaran merek. Dengan demikian, itikad baik digunakan untuk menilai apakah suatu permohonan diajukan secara jujur, wajar, dan tidak bertujuan mengambil keuntungan dari reputasi atau hak pihak lain. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode yuridis normatif dengan pendekatan perundang-undangan, konseptual, dan perbandingan hukum. Bahan hukum yang dianalisis meliputi Undang-Undang Merek dan Indikasi Geografis, Paris Convention, TRIPs Agreement, doktrin hukum merek, serta putusan yang relevan mengenai itikad tidak baik. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa hukum Indonesia telah menyediakan dasar normatif untuk menolak atau membatalkan merek yang diajukan dengan itikad tidak baik. Namun, penerapannya masih menghadapi kendala dalam hal penafsiran, pembuktian, dan konsistensi pertimbangan hukum. Oleh karena itu, diperlukan perumusan indikator itikad tidak baik yang lebih jelas, penguatan pemeriksaan substantif oleh otoritas merek, konsistensi putusan pengadilan, serta harmonisasi hukum merek nasional dengan standar perlindungan merek internasional. Penguatan ini penting untuk mencegah pendaftaran merek secara oportunistik, melindungi pemilik merek yang sah, dan memperkuat kepastian hukum dalam sistem perlindungan merek Indonesia.
