JAKARTA - Minister of Law and Human Rights (Menkumham) Yasonna Hamonangan Laoly encourages public awareness, especially young people, to be further enhanced in terms of intellectual property registration.
"We still need to improve. That's why I held roving seminars and 'Yasonna Hearing' in several areas," Yasonna said in commemoration of World Intellectual Property Day in Jakarta, Tuesday, April 26.
For example, he shared his experience when he visited Medan, North Sumatra, and found a number of young people who were creative in making soap from plant materials. But unfortunately, he continued, until now the work has not been registered with the Directorate General of Intellectual Property (DJKI) of the Ministry of Law and Human Rights.
"In fact, I encourage him to create an individual company through the Job Creation Act," he added.
Not only that, Yasonna also found young Indonesians who have successfully performed abroad through mime art performances. However, the copyright of the artist has not yet been registered.
"I invite anyone who has intellectual property or findings that can make things easier and are technological in nature to be registered immediately," he said.
As an initial stage, according to him, people or people who have succeeded in finding an intellectual property only need to register a simple patent, then it can continue to be developed.
He believes that the findings or intellectual property of the nation's children will have added value if they are combined with economic aspects.
