Abstract

The rejection of the patent application filed by the Yamaha company by the Directorate General of Intellectual Property Rights (DJKI/Direktorat Jenderal Kekayaan Intelektual) impacts the loss to the company. This rejection is because the object to be patented is considered to have no inventive steps. Objecting to the rejection, Yamaha company appealed to the Patent Appeals Commission. However, the Patent Appeal Commission still rejected the application, so the Yamaha company made various legal efforts in the form of lawsuits to the Commercial Court and cassation to the Supreme Court. This research was conducted with normative juridical methods. The results on the Supreme Court Ruling showed that the problems arising concerning patent rejection filed by Yamaha companies because the claims filed in patent applications do not contain elements of novelty and inventive steps. Therefore, the rejection of patents on inventions filed by Yamaha companies certainly has legal consequences for Yamaha companies.
