Indonesian Ministry of Law Reminds Students: Protect Your Work Before It’s Copied!

Jakarta – The Ministry of Law (Kemenkum) of the Republic of Indonesia warns high school students who produce innovative work. These students are urged to protect their intellectual property rights to prevent exploitation by others. This was conveyed by the Indonesian Ministry of Law in a talk show themed ‘Intellectual Property Protection,’ which was one of the educational agendas in the Indonesian Student Innovation and Entrepreneurship Festival (FIKSI) 2025 at the SMESCO Exhibition Hall in Jakarta on Wednesday, October 29, 2025. The event invited young innovators to understand the importance of safeguarding their work from being easily imitated. ‘These school children are the future generation that will compete on a global level. Hopefully, they will not be inferior to other countries. After being here, hopefully, they will understand more about the importance of intellectual property protection,’ said Erni Purnamasari, SH, MH, Policy Analyst Expert Deputy Director of Cooperation and Education, Directorate General of Intellectual Property, Kemenkum RI.
