Abstract

Abstract: The increasing globalization of markets has raised significant legal questions regarding the registration of geographical indications (GIs), particularly concerning the validity of registering names from regions outside Indonesia. This research adopts a normative research method utilizing a statute approach to explore the legal framework governing GIs in Indonesia and compare it with international standards. The knowledge gap identified in this study pertains to the lack of comprehensive understanding regarding the requirements for registering foreign geographical names as GIs in Indonesia. The aim of this research is to provide an in-depth analysis of the legal validity of such registrations, focusing on the specific requirements and implications under Indonesian law. Preliminary findings indicate that while foreign regional names can be registered as trademarks if they meet specific criteria, they cannot be registered as GIs due to the absence of unique characteristics attributable to the geographical factors of the foreign country. This study's novelty lies in its comparative perspective, highlighting the discrepancies between local and international GI regulations, thereby enriching the discourse on intellectual property rights in a global context. The implications of this research are significant for policymakers and legal practitioners, as it underscores the necessity for clearer regulations and standards governing the use of foreign geographical names, ultimately aiming to protect consumers and uphold the integrity of Indonesian GIs. Highlights: oreign names may qualify for trademark registration under specific conditions. Geographical indications require unique regional characteristics for registration. Comparative analysis enhances understanding of international geographical indication laws. Keywords: Geographical Indications, Trademark Registration, International Law, Indonesia, Legal Framework

Abstract

Objective: This article discusses the strength of deeds made by notary employees on behalf of Notary after being sentenced to more than 5 years in prison. Method: This research uses normative juridical method with statute approach. Results: The result of the research is that Notary who is sentenced to imprisonment of 5 years or more will be dishonorably discharged by the Minister. Which means that the Notary no longer has the authority as a Notary. Therefore, the legal force of a deed made by a notary employee on behalf of a Notary who has been sentenced to imprisonment for more than 5 years and has lost his authority is considered invalid, has no legal force and is considered a deed forgery. If a notary employee acts outside of his/her authority, the authentic deed he/she produces will not be legally binding and cannot be executed. Parties harmed by such actions can file a civil lawsuit against the notary at the District Court. Novelty: This article highlights the legal consequences and invalidity of deeds made by notary employees on behalf of a Notary who has lost his authority due to imprisonment exceeding 5 years, emphasizing the legal boundaries of notary authority and accountability within Indonesian law.

Abstract

The aim of this normative Juridical research study was to determine the role of mediators in the Sidoarjo religious court in reducing the number of divorce cases. The study found that the role of mediators was less than optimal due to the small number of mediators available, with only 5 mediators responsible for handling thousands of cases. In 2022, however, there was a notable increase in the number of successfully mediated divorce cases, with 91 cases successfully mediated in July and 80 in August. This demonstrates the potential benefits of increasing the number of mediators in the Sidoarjo religious court, as it could lead to more effective mediation and fewer divorces. These findings have important implications for the Sidoarjo Religious Court and suggest that increasing the number of mediators could be a viable strategy for reducing the number of divorce cases. Highlights: The study highlights the suboptimal role of mediators in the Sidoarjo religious court due to the lack of available mediators, with only five mediators responsible for handling thousands of divorce cases. The research demonstrates the potential benefits of increasing the number of mediators in the Sidoarjo religious court, as evidenced by the increasing number of successfully mediated divorce cases in 2022. The findings suggest that increasing the number of mediators could be an effective strategy for reducing the number of divorce cases in Sidoarjo, which has important implications for the Sidoarjo religious court and its efforts to minimize divorce rates. Keywords: mediators, religious court, divorce cases, role effectiveness, increasing number

Abstract

General Background: The rapid growth of social media has generated new forms of online economic activity, including live streaming that enables users to solicit virtual gifts convertible into monetary value. Specific Background: On the TikTok Live platform, such activities have increasingly involved the use of vulnerable groups—elderly persons, children, and individuals with disabilities—raising concerns about public order violations and exploitation resembling online begging. Knowledge Gap: Existing legal studies primarily address exploitation in offline contexts, while juridical analysis linking current regulations to digital gift-solicitation practices remains limited, particularly regarding enforcement and legal responsibility in Indonesia. Aims: This study examines the legal consequences of exploitative gift requests on TikTok Live and identifies relevant regulatory frameworks governing such conduct. Results: Using a normative juridical method with a statutory approach, the research finds that these practices may violate provisions related to begging, child protection, human trafficking prevention, and protection of persons with disabilities, with possible sanctions including criminal penalties, civil liability, and platform-based restrictions such as removal from monetization programs. Novelty: The study connects traditional legal norms on public order and exploitation with emerging digital behaviors on live streaming platforms. Implications: Strengthening law enforcement, regulatory oversight, and community awareness is essential to protect vulnerable populations and ensure accountability for both content creators and service providers in the digital environment. Highlights: Virtual gift solicitation involving marginalized individuals can constitute unlawful conduct under multiple statutes. Sanctions extend beyond criminal punishment to include civil claims and platform monetization restrictions. Regulatory oversight is necessary to safeguard at-risk populations within live streaming ecosystems. Keywords: TikTok Live; Online Begging; Vulnerable Groups; Legal Consequences; Digital Exploitation

Abstract

General Background: Notary protocols constitute official legal archives that preserve authentic records of civil transactions and agreements, forming a foundation for legal certainty and public trust in notarial services. Specific Background: When a notary dies, these protocols—classified as state archives—must be safeguarded and transferred according to statutory procedures, yet in practice they may be left in deteriorated conditions that complicate administrative handling. Knowledge Gap: Limited clarity persists regarding the legal duties of heirs in managing, reporting, and transferring damaged protocols, particularly when archives have been destroyed by environmental factors or other uncontrollable events. Aims: This study examines the obligations of heirs concerning damaged notary protocols and analyzes the associated legal consequences using a normative-empirical legal approach supported by statutory review and interviews with the Regional Supervisory Council. Results: Findings indicate that heirs are required to report the existence of protocols within a prescribed period, coordinate with supervisory authorities, and facilitate transfer to an appointed notary; failure to do so may lead authorities to assume control to prevent legal uncertainty and protect parties who relied on the original deeds. Novelty: The study integrates doctrinal legal analysis with field evidence to clarify procedural responsibilities of heirs in post-mortem protocol management. Implications: Strengthening compliance with reporting and transfer procedures is essential to safeguard clients’ rights, maintain archival integrity, and preserve public confidence in the notarial institution. Highlights: Heirs must promptly notify supervisory authorities and arrange document transfer after the notary’s death. Authorities may intervene and appoint a custodian when families fail to act within statutory time limits. Proper handling of archives is necessary to protect parties connected to authentic deeds and avoid disputes. Keywords: Notary Protocol; Heirs Responsibility; Legal Certainty; Notarial Archives; Indonesia

Abstract

General Background: Standard form contracts are widely used in service industries, including vehicle rental, to streamline transactions and reduce administrative burdens. Specific Background: In car rental practices, these contracts frequently contain adhesion clauses drafted unilaterally by business operators, potentially creating disparities in rights and obligations between providers and consumers. Knowledge Gap: Previous legal studies have largely addressed contractual justice in general terms, leaving limited empirical examination of how adhesion clauses operate in actual car rental agreements and how they relate to consumer protection norms. Aims: This study analyzes the juridical implications of adhesion clauses in a car rental contract in Tanggulangin, Sidoarjo, focusing on contractual balance, legal compliance, and consumer rights. Results: Using a normative-empirical approach supported by document analysis and interviews, the study finds that several clauses transfer risks disproportionately to consumers, impose strict penalties without flexibility, require extensive personal guarantees, and conflict with statutory consumer protection provisions and principles of good faith. Novelty: The research provides a direct field-based evaluation of specific contractual provisions, highlighting structural inequalities embedded in real operational practices rather than theoretical models. Implications: The findings underscore the necessity for regulatory reform, standardized contract drafting, and stronger oversight to ensure fairness, transparency, and legal certainty in consumer transactions within the vehicle rental sector. Highlights: Several provisions shift liability almost entirely to renters, including circumstances involving service staff. Penalty schemes operate rigidly without accommodating emergency situations. Personal document guarantees create legal and privacy concerns for users. Keywords:Adhesion Clause; Car Rental Agreement; Consumer Protection Law; Standard Contract; Contractual Balance
