Corporate Responsibilities in Intellectual Property Rights Disputes in the Digital Age

Abstract

In the digital era, Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) violations are increasing along with the rapid development of technology and digital platforms. Digital companies, as service providers and content facilitators, have a responsibility to prevent and handle IPR disputes. This study aims to analyze the extent of the company's responsibility in resolving IPR disputes and the challenges faced in its implementation in Indonesia. The research method used is a normative legal approach with legal analysis of applicable regulations, case studies of several digital companies, and interviews with legal experts and related stakeholders. The results of the study show that digital companies have preventive responsibilities through content filtering systems and internal regulations, as well as responsive responsibilities through take-down mechanisms and cooperation with legal authorities. However, challenges such as lack of legal certainty, weak enforcement of regulations, and limited monitoring technology are still major obstacles in resolving IPR disputes in Indonesia. As a recommendation, this study suggests stricter regulatory reform, the implementation of more sophisticated monitoring technology, and increased legal awareness for users and providers of digital services. With these steps, it is hoped that the digital ecosystem in Indonesia can be more conducive to the protection of IPR and create a balance between the interests of copyright owners, internet users, and digital companies.
