Abstract

The culture of “reciprocity” remains preserved and continues to serve as the foundation for the implementation of customary/Adat marriages among the indigenous Sea Tribe community in Lingga Regency. This study aims to strengthen cultural norms and regulatory frameworks, while also addressing the enforcement of such cultural practices. Employing an empirical legal approach, the study found that the practice of reciprocity conflicts with the prevailing national marriage law. Specifically, due to imbalances in social obligations, the Sea Tribe community often carries out child marriages based on custom without obtaining a court-issued marriage dispensation, as legally required. Furthermore, the Sea Tribe can no longer be classified as an Adat law community, as it no longer meets the criteria; instead, it should be regarded as a customary community that remains subject to national law. Drawing on Satjipto Rahardjo’s Theory of Legal Compliance, the study identifies three key factors contributing to the community’s non-compliance with marriage law: the lack of proper legal indoctrination, entrenched collective habits, and a limited understanding of the benefits of legal obedience. Consequently, the continued application of the reciprocity culture results in violations of children’s rights to health and education within the community. In light of Mochtar Kusumaatmadja’s Theory of Development Law, this study underscores the need for marriage law to more effectively govern the practices of the Sea Tribe community.

Abstract

The Paris Convention and Trademark Law Treaty (TLT) have emphasized the importance of distinctive characteristics of words as marks. The TRIPs have stated that trademarks are signs with distinguishing power and one of the elements are words. There are two doctrines related to the distinguishing power of words, namely the likelihood of confusion and dilution. There are also eight categories of words as trademarks with distinctive power that are recognized internationally. Indonesian trademark law has regulated distinctive characteristics of wordmarks in relation to words that cannot be registered as trademarks and words whose application for registration has been rejected. This is because Indonesia has ratified the Paris Convention, TRIPs, and TLT and harmonized its trademark law. However, there is an obligation for Indonesian citizens and its legal entities to use Indonesian words as trademarks. This article encompasses normative legal research using a statutory approach. Indonesian trademark law has accommodated the doctrine of likelihood of confusion as well as dilution. The law also implicitly recognizes five categories of wordmarks, which are: invented words, abbreviation including acronyms, arbitrary, suggestive, and generic. The obligation to use Indonesian words as trademarks limits the creation and use of words as trademarks. This norm appears to be formulated without a proper understanding of trademarks. Indonesia does not need norms like this. All trademark stakeholders must pay attention to this norm and apply for revocation.
