Abstract

Most of the developing countries (hereinafter DCs) increased their technological base apart from the developed nations, but they also depend on the existence of the local uplift created by the technology of Research and Development (hereinafter R&D), evaluate alternative options for the transfer of technology (hereinafter TT) in line with timely resource endowments and socio-economic development objectives, and, finally, efficiently utilise this technology to heighten their living standard. Nowadays, in light of the Paris Convention of 1883, new challenges are being faced due to the increased use of the patent systems in the knowledge-based economy and the growing sensitivity to the patent system’s social and economic role in society. This paper addresses and highlights today’s international challenges surrounding the international patent system. In Indonesia, there are even regulations on the TT that have been issued, but there is no special regulation for it. Beside that, the Capital Investment Coordinating Board (BKPM) can also assess the technology component of investment proposals but has made little use of this authority due to lack of technical expertise. Some of these provisions may have to be amended in light of the TRIPS Agreement. Currently, as of 27 July 2018, the President of the Republic of Indonesia enacted Regulation No. 36 of 2018 on the recordal of IP Licensing Agreements. Meanwhile, on 24 February 2016, the Ministry of Law and Human Rights issued Ministerial Decree No. 8 of 2016 concerning the Requirement and Procedure of Intellectual Property License Recordal, which serves as an implementing regulation for the recordation of IP licenses. Finally, both the Regulation of Government nor the roles of Indonesian government have failed to create technology development (TD), as well as TT for Indonesia. No doubt, TT is truly emphasised as a principal means of uplifting the living standard of Indonesia’s peoples. Moreover, there is no evidence that shows a correlation between the recordal of IP licensing agreements under both of the regulations above, TD under the Patents system, and the collective mastery of a nation to access knowledge and technology effectively to develop its standard of living.
