Intellectual Property Rights in The Era of Industrial Revolution 4.0 in The Perspective of Legal Protection

Abstract

The development of digital technology in the 4.0 Industrial Revolution has a substantial influence on the legal protection of intellectual property rights (IPR). Technologies such as the internet, big data, and artificial intelligence allow the use and utilization of intellectual work by other parties without permission or without paying royalties. In this context, the theoretical study of the legal protection of IPR during the Industrial Revolution 4.0 involves various disciplines, including law, information technology, business, and economics. This study discusses the importance of legal protection of IPR in the framework of the Industrial Revolution 4.0 era. Some of the relevant theories and concepts in this study are intellectual property rights (HKI), Industrial Revolution 4.0, blockchain technology, digital business models, knowledge-based economy, and commercial law. This study concludes that the legal protection of IPR during the Industrial Revolution 4.0 needs to be faced with innovative and integrated solutions. Governments, international institutions, industry players, and society as a whole must work together to develop rules and practices that are more effective in protecting intellectual property rights in the digital world. The study also discusses some of the challenges in the legal protection of IPR in the era of the Industrial Revolution 4.0, such as the issue of unauthorized use of data, copyright abuse, and challenges in developing sustainable business models. Blockchain technology and the concept of a knowledge-based economy can be an effective solution in overcoming these challenges. In this research, a qualitative approach is used by analyzing theories and concepts related to legal protection of IPR during the Industrial Revolution 4.0. The data used in this study are literature from various sources such as scientific journals, books, and official documents from related institutions. This study is expected to contribute and provide input for policy makers, researchers, practitioners, and the general public address the issues of IPR kegal protection in the Industrial Revolution 4.0. Through integrated and collaborative efforts, it is hoped that a more conducive environment for innovation and sustainable technological development can be created.
