Legal Protection of Communal Intellectual Property in Traditional Culture Expression of The Bali Region

The state grants registered Geographical Indication holders an exclusive right to Geographical Indications as long as the repute, quality, and features that form the foundation for the preservation of Geographical Names still exist. The uniqueness of geographical indications compared to other types of intellectual property is that geographical indications are not individual rights, but are the communal intellectual property of a group of people. The distinctiveness derived from these geographical elements may considerably boost the added value and selling value of a object when paired with inventiveness in manufacturing, transmission, as well as business strategies. A device's value that is performing well, on the other hand, might give value to the area by emphasizing the region's distinctiveness. Indonesia is among the nation's biggest island nation countries. Indonesia, and Bali in particular, offer a broad range of geographical circumstances, customs, and cultural resources, including traditional knowledge and a diverse range of traditional cultural manifestations. Geographical factors, as well as the diversity of customs and cultures, play a vital influence in the creation of items with distinct characteristics that are not found in other places. Until date, Indonesia has struggled to establish legal protection for local products in order to maximize their economic worth.
