Inventory constitutes a movable asset with significant economic value in commercial activities. However, its dynamic nature gives rise to legal uncertainty regarding its status as an object of proprietary rights. Although Indonesian positive law recognizes inventory as an object of proprietary rights, its legal status remains contentious in both legal practice and property law doctrine because continuous changes in the quantity, type, and existence of inventory may conflict with the principles of specificity (speciality principle) and droit de suite. This study aims to analyze the legal certainty of inventory as an object of proprietary rights from the perspective of Indonesian civil law. The research employs a normative legal research method using statutory and conceptual approaches. The findings demonstrate that, from a juridical perspective, inventory qualifies as movable property that may serve as an object of proprietary rights, including fiduciary security under the Indonesian Civil Code and Law Number 42 of 1999 on Fiduciary Security. This study proposes a legal framework based on the identification of inventory according to its type, economic value, recording system, and underlying legal relationship to strengthen legal certainty and legal protection without impeding commercial transactions.
