KW's Official Showing Off KW's Goods Is Considered To Be Able To Turn Off The National Economy And Break The Rules

The Directorate General of Intellectual Property (DJKI) of the Ministry of Law and Human Rights (Kemenkumham) regrets that there are still use of counterfeit goods, aka KW among officials.

This action can not only kill the national economy, but also hinder Indonesia's efforts to get out of the Priority Watch List (PWL) status given by the United States to Indonesia.

"We deeply regret this action because we in DJKI along with eight other ministries/agencies that are members of the Intellectual Property Operations Task Force (Satgas Ops) are trying very hard to eradicate KI violations in Indonesia," said Acting Director General of KI Razilu in his statement, Friday, March 24.

Director of Investigation and Settlement of Dispute and Head of the Ops Task Force Anom Wibowo continued that his party has collaborated with the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government to certify shopping centers in DKI Jakarta.

"We are in the process of communicating with the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government regarding the plan for Mall Certifications since a month ago and is currently underway. Not only are we, foreign parties also know that there are malls in Jakarta that sell counterfeit goods, but we cannot act without complaints," explained Anom.

As is known, DJKI cannot take action against KI violations without complaints from KI owners because KI's law uses complaint offenses. However, Anom stated that his party would continue to monitor shopping centers in Indonesia.

For information, the Shopping Center Certification is one of DJKI's flagship programs since 2022. The program will continue this year to ensure that all shopping centers in Indonesia do not sell goods that violate KI through socialization and education at all shopping center tenants and managers.

Then, DJKI will provide certificates after the mall can meet the requirements, for example through field surveys and questionnaires for managers, tenants, and shopping center consumers.
