TRENDS OF GLOBAL VALUES IN LEGAL POLITICAL FORMATION OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY LAW IN INDONESIA

This paper attempts to discuss the trends of global values regarding IPR as well as TRIPS Agreement and the IPR law implementation in Indonesia. Moreover, this study would like to assess the suitability of global values contained in the IPR, by comparing its values with sociological worldview of local communities. The study was conducted by library research and by socio-legal approach. The results show that the IPR provisions contain some Western values such as individualistic, monopolistic, materialistic and capitalistic tendencies that seems incompatible with local worldview, especially of Indonesian people, regarding communal ownership. Moreover, the establishment of the principle and the method of IPR protection in the IPR legal system in Indonesia is expected to further emphasize the values derived from extracting local and national legal values that are characterized as having communal and spiritual tendencies in nature.
