Abstract

This paper explores the intricate landscape of trademark protection within the realm of Intellectual Property Rights (IPRs). Trademarks, emblematic of brand identity and consumer trust, wield significant economic value and reputation. However, they are increasingly vulnerable to infringement, posing challenges to both proprietors and regulatory bodies. Against this backdrop, the efficacy of license agreements as a mechanism for mitigating trademark infringement is examined. Through a comprehensive analysis of contract law principles, including freedom of contract and good faith, this study elucidates strategies for bolstering trademark protection. Drawing upon legislative frameworks, contextual analysis, and case law, the paper proposes a nuanced approach to navigating trademark-related disputes. By fostering transparent and mutually beneficial relationships between brand owners and licensees, this framework seeks to uphold the integrity of trademarks while safeguarding market integrity. Ultimately, the paper advocates for a collaborative effort among stakeholders to ensure equitable practices and uphold the sanctity of trademarked goods and services in the global marketplace.

Abstract

Retraction notice: This article has been retracted at the request of the Editor-in-Chief due to concerns related to authorship issues.This work is aimed at reexamining the well-known mark protection, particularly in Indonesia. It is sparked by a substantive gap, covering theoretical and practical elements in protecting well-known mark. The case rooted at the Indonesian Supreme Court decision that refers to the constitutive systems in mark registration and refused the Pierre Cardin proposal to invalidate the Indonesian local that used mark Pierre Cardin for his convection products. Normatively, the court should analyze and consider the architecture of norms in protecting well-known mark by going further into the international conventions on mark, such as TRIPs agreement and Madrid Protocol that recognize and protect the well-known mark. To analyze this case, this work will apply normative legal research. In the discussion section, this work elaborates the basic concepts of well-known mark, fundamental and core elements as well as the indicators or criteria of well-known mark. In addition, this work will compare some jurisprudences concerning the well-known mark protection. At the end, this work offers some substantive and pragmatic approaches in strengthening well-known mark protection. The substantive approach will discuss and examine some theories, norms, and policies used by judges in handling well-known mark cases. Whereas, the pragmatic approach underlines the importance of institutional networking and legal awareness improvement, particularly key society groups, e.g., university and industry, to control violation of well-known marks.
