        "content": "<p>The Directorate General of Intellectual Property (DJKI) of the\nMinistry of Law has destroyed 567 pieces of evidence from a Lacoste\ntrademark infringement case, with an estimated economic value of nearly\nRp 1 billion. The destruction is a follow-up to the resolution of the\ntrademark violation case handled by Civil Servant Investigators (PPNS)\nof the DJKI.<\/p>\n<p>Director General of Intellectual Property Hermansyah Siregar\nexplained that the destruction resulted from the handling of a trademark\ninfringement case that was resolved through a peace mechanism between PT\nTerra Store and Lacoste. The case resolution was carried out to provide\nintellectual property protection and law enforcement.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is to protect rights holders, create legal certainty, maintain\nhealthy business competition, protect consumers, and encourage a\nconducive investment climate,\u201d Hermansyah said in Jakarta on Monday\n(22\/6\/2026).<\/p>\n<p>Director of Law Enforcement at DJKI, Arie Ardian Rishadi, explained\nthat the evidence destroyed consisted of 135 jerseys, 42 training\ntrousers, 25 jackets, 204 shirts, 32 sweaters, 9 polo t-shirts, 91\nt-shirts, and 29 boxer shorts. All of these items were previously stored\nas evidence during the case handling process.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNow they are destroyed as part of the implementation of the\nagreement between the parties, which has obtained legal certainty,\u201d said\nArie.<\/p>\n<p>According to him, based on calculations using the retail price of\nsimilar genuine products on the market, the total evidence has an\nestimated economic value of around Rp 940.4 million. This value\nindicates the magnitude of potential losses that could be caused if\nproducts using the trademark without rights were circulated in the\ncommunity.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTrademark infringement not only harms the rights holder, but also\nhas the potential to mislead consumers and disrupt healthy business\ncompetition,\u201d Arie stated.<\/p>",
