Abstract

The Indonesian Government has issued Government Regulation Number 20 of 2017 which regulates the authority of customs in enforcing intellectual property rights. Although the legal framework for the protection of intellectual property rights has been strengthened, but the counterfeit and piracy of intellectual property rights related to imports are still high. This research is an empirical research by using method of socio-legal approach, which study law with approach of law science and social science. The results of the research show that the authority of the Directorate General of Customs and Excise in the enforcement of IPR can be done through the prevention of the position of the Customs and Excise Officer (ex-officio) or by the order of the Chief of the Court (Judicial). The Directorate General of Customs and Excise should optimize its authority in enforcing IPR through an ex-officio scheme because it will be more effective and reduce the time period of the bureaucracy. However, it requires challenges such as changes in legislation and capacity building of DGCE employees in the field of IPR.
