Document background
A Copyright Declaration is a crucial document in the Indonesian intellectual property landscape, governed primarily by Law No. 28 of 2014 on Copyright. This document is typically used when creators or organizations need to formally establish their copyright ownership, whether for business purposes, potential litigation, or registration with authorities. The declaration includes detailed information about the copyrighted work, the circumstances of its creation, and formal statements about ownership and rights. It serves as an important tool for protecting intellectual property rights in Indonesia and can be particularly valuable in cases of dispute or when licensing works to third parties. While copyright protection in Indonesia is automatic upon creation, a Copyright Declaration provides documented evidence of ownership and can be used in conjunction with optional copyright registration through the Directorate General of Intellectual Property.
