In the context of franchising in Indonesia, the concept implies that granting a franchise is always related to granting permission or license to use and utilize certain Intellectual Property Rights (IPR), including brands and confidential business information. The right to exploit and use these two types of IPR cannot be separated. The research method used is a normative juridical research method. In this approach, research is carried out by basing the analysis on statutory regulations as the main legal source. In a Franchise agreement, the use of Intellectual Property Rights by the Franchisee must be regulated in writing in the contract. This includes Trademark Rights, Patents, and Copyrights. Violation of this right may result in legal action, both civil and criminal, in accordance with applicable laws.
