Abstract

The submission of a procurement request for engineering equipment is, of course, accompanied by a budget plan for the manufacture of the equipment. In practice, many companies that conduct engineering equipment procurement auctions often obtain engineering equipment designs from one tender participant to be used by other tender participants without disclosure. This causes injustice to tender participants whose engineering equipment designs are used without their knowledge or consent. The absence of registration of industrial designs results in no protection of industrial design rights, which can lead to imitation or plagiarism of the design, and there is even the possibility of using the design in the future. Another problem that also arises is that the engineering equipment designed or created is not mass-produced, as it is only produced for specific conditions. The formulation of the problem in this study concerns how to regulate engineering equipment design, how to protect engineering equipment procurement participants from misuse of engineering equipment design, and what solutions are available for addressing misuse of equipment design. The research methodology used was normative research. In Indonesia, industrial design, also known as industrial product design, has been recognized as a distinct entity from copyright. In 2000, a law specifically regulating industrial design was enacted, known as the Industrial Design Law. Additionally, the regulation regarding the layout of integrated circuits is outlined in Law Number 32 of 2000 concerning Integrated Circuit Layout Design. The protection of engineering tool designs can only be carried out through repressive efforts, both criminally and civilly. This protection is only based on whether the engineering tool procurement participant has an industrial design certificate. So that the engineering tool procurement participant firmly owns the legality of the design, solutions that can be taken include: First, the need for preventive legal regulations in the form of obligations from the engineering tool procurement company with the engineering tool procurement participant in the form of a written agreement containing an agreement to maintain the confidentiality of information. Second, there is a need for ease in obtaining industrial design certificates by the Directorate General of Intellectual Property Rights. Third, there is a need for supervision and socialization of all business entities participating in the procurement of engineering tools to prevent the misuse of engineering tool designs.

Abstract

In reality, collecting donations often does not match the original purpose of providing the funds. This is a common occurrence and is frequently reported by television, mass media, and online media. In this study, several issues are examined, including the implementation of regulations regarding donations, the legal protection afforded to donors against the misuse of donation funds by recipients, and the solutions for actions taken by recipients who misuse donation funds. The form of this research is normative legal research, utilizing secondary data as its primary source of information. The data analysis used is qualitative descriptive analysis. Legal protection for donors in the context of acts of misuse of donation money by recipients of donations is a complex issue and requires serious attention. On the one hand, existing regulations have provided a sufficient legal framework to protect donors; on the other hand, there are still many challenges to their implementation in the field. Cases of misuse that occur show that the existing regulations are not fully effective in preventing misuse of funds. It is essential to strengthen the supervision and accountability of institutions that collect donations. Transparency in fund management, independent audits, and certification for trusted foundations are some steps that can be taken to increase donor trust. In addition, educating the public about their rights as donors is also crucial in building better legal awareness. With the various solutions proposed, the donation ecosystem in Indonesia can become more efficient and transparent. The public must feel safe and confident that every donation given will be used for the right purpose. Only in this way can we build a healthy and sustainable donation culture in Indonesia.
