The Directorate General of Intellectual Property (DGIP) of the\nMinistry of Law is continuing to optimise alternative dispute resolution\nfor intellectual property (IP) through a mediation mechanism via the\nOnline IP Infringement Complaint system, known as e-Pengaduan. Between 1\nJanuary 2022 and 20 May 2026, the DGIP has resolved a total of 104 IP\nmediation requests.<\/p>\n
This step is part of the DGIP\u2019s commitment to providing IP law\nenforcement services that are fast, effective, and easily accessible to\nthe public. Beyond resolving disputes, the mediation mechanism is also\nexpected to increase public awareness regarding the importance of\nprotecting intellectual property, including works, innovations, and\ncreativity.<\/p>\n
The Director General of Intellectual Property, Hermansyah Siregar,\nstated that mediation is a vital instrument in creating a conducive IP\nprotection climate while providing legal certainty for all parties.\n\u201cResolving disputes through mediation provides a more effective and\nefficient space for dialogue. The DGIP continues to encourage the public\nto protect their intellectual property through recording and\nregistration to ensure their rights have legal certainty and to avoid\npotential infringements,\u201d Hermansyah said during an interview in\nJakarta.<\/p>\n
According to DGIP data, mediation requests are dominated by copyright\nand trademark disputes. In 2026 alone, up to 20 May, 11 mediation\nrequests were recorded, with 10 cases still in progress and one\ncompleted. Overall, the majority of the 104 mediation requests since\n2022 have been successfully resolved through mediation.<\/p>\n
The Director of Law Enforcement, Arie Ardian Rishadi, explained that\nhandling mediation requests through the online system is a crucial means\nof accelerating IP dispute resolution in a transparent and measurable\nmanner. \u201cThrough the Online IP Infringement Complaint system, the\nmediation process can be handled more effectively, from the submission\nof requests and administrative checks to the appointment of mediators\nand the drafting of mediation result reports. However, if mediation\nfails to reach an agreement, the law enforcement process will proceed in\naccordance with applicable regulations,\u201d said Arie.<\/p>\n
All stages of the mediation application process are conducted\nsystematically and documented electronically. Applicants can request\nmediation, either without a prior complaint report or based on reports\nalready registered with the DGIP, via the official website. The process\ninvolves submitting personal data, a brief description of the work, and\ndetails of the alleged infringement, alongside supporting evidence.<\/p>\n
Following an administrative review of the documents, the DGIP\nappoints a certified mediator from either the DGIP or Regional Offices\nof the Ministry of Law. The mediator conducts pre-mediation, including\nclarifications and scheduling, leading to a settlement agreement if a\nconsensus is reached. The entire process is targeted to be completed\nwithin a maximum of nine working days.<\/p>\n
Through this mechanism, disputing parties can achieve mutually\nbeneficial solutions without undergoing lengthy legal proceedings. The\nDGIP encourages the public to utilise mediation as a rapid and effective\nalternative and urges early registration of intellectual property to\nsecure exclusive rights and minimise the potential for future\ndisputes.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/dgip-resolves-104-intellectual-property-disputes-through-mediation-1780852381", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
