This study examines the role of legal protection of copyright in ensuring legal certainty for book printing businesses in Indonesia. Although Law No. 28 of 2014 on copyright provides a fairly clear legal framework, its implementation in practice still faces various obstacles, such as low understanding among business actors, weak socialization, and complicated administrative procedures. Through a qualitative approach using normative legal and sociological legal methods, this study finds that copyright protection has not yet fully provided a sense of security and legal certainty for the printing industry, particularly for small and medium- sized businesses. Therefore, there is a need to strengthen legal education, simplify legalization processes, and develop inter-institutional strategies for the legitimate, sustainable, and competitive development of the industry in the era of an intellectual property-based economy.
