Ternate \u2014 The North Maluku Regional Office of the Ministry of Law has\nannounced that copyright registration can now be carried out quickly and\nsimply through the Automatic Copyright Application Approval (POP-HC)\nservice.<\/p>\n
Head of the North Maluku Ministry of Law Regional Office, Budi A\nSitungkir, speaking in Ternate on Tuesday, expressed his appreciation\nfor the POP-HC service, which provides ease of copyright registration\nfor the public.<\/p>\n
He noted that the copyright registration process can be completed in\nas little as five minutes provided the required documents are complete.\nThis presents a significant opportunity for book authors, academics and\nartists such as musicians in North Maluku to protect their creative\nworks.<\/p>\n
\u201cNorth Maluku has seen an increase in copyright registrations,\nparticularly from writers and musicians. This is a positive trend,\nproviding the widest possible opportunity for all members of the public\nto protect their copyrights and obtain economic benefits from their\nworks,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
He explained that the requirements for copyright registration through\nPOP-HC include the identity of the creator and\/or copyright holder, a\ndeclaration of ownership of the work, and a sample of the work to be\nregistered according to its type.<\/p>\n
For individual applicants, identification in the form of a national\nidentity card (KTP) is required, whilst legal entities must attach their\nestablishment documents.<\/p>\n
\u201cAll documents are prepared in digital format for upload to the DJKI\nsystem without the need to visit the regional office. Nevertheless,\nshould any difficulties arise, the North Maluku Ministry of Law Regional\nOffice can also provide free assistance,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
The copyright registration procedure begins with creating an account\non the DJKI copyright registration system (hakcipta.dgip.go.id).\nApplicants then complete the application form online, upload the\nrequired documents, and make payment of the registration fee in\naccordance with the applicable provisions. Applicants are charged\nRp200,000 for each application.<\/p>\n
Once all stages have been completed, the POP-HC system automatically\nprocesses the application and issues a Copyright Registration\nCertificate that can be downloaded by the applicant.<\/p>\n
Copyright protection follows the declarative principle, whereby legal\nprotection arises automatically from the moment a work is created.\nRegistration serves as initial proof of ownership, and although it is\nnot mandatory, it is highly important as a means of evidence and a\npreventive measure against plagiarism and copyright infringement that\ncould harm creators.<\/p>\n
Through the POP-HC service, the DJKI invites all creators and\ncreative industry practitioners to take advantage of the ease of\ncopyright registration as a form of awareness and responsibility in\nprotecting intellectual property in Indonesia.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Director General of Intellectual Property Hermansyah\nSiregar affirmed that POP-HC was specifically designed to meet the\ncreative industry\u2019s need for fast and accessible services. Applicants do\nnot need to visit the DJKI office or regional offices to access this\nservice.<\/p>\n
\u201cPOP-HC is designed so that copyright registration can be carried out\nefficiently and completed in a short time. We have introduced this\nservice to support the creative industry so that it can more quickly\nprotect its intellectual property and have legal certainty over the\nworks produced,\u201d he said.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/writers-and-musicians-can-protect-copyright-through-pop-hc-system-1771424546", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
