A "BLUE PRINT" OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS (IPR) PROTECTION ON COPYRIGHT OF ARTISTS AND TRADITIONAL CULTURAL EXPRESSION (TCE) TO STREGNTHEN NATIONAL CULTURAL DEVELOPMENT

Abstract

The blueprint of the Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) on the copyright of traditional artists and Traditional Cultural Expressions (TCE) is created and prepared to protect traditional artists and their creative works. The artist's copyright protection is done by the government so that the artists and their creative work can foster national culture resilience. HKI (IPR) on the copyright is the result of individual's creations, whereas the rights of TCE are communal collectives given to generations and not explaining the inventors, nor are they market-oriented. TCE is a knowledge, discovery, and practice of traditional society that manifests both in traditional lifestyle and art as well as native and local technology. Indonesian culture art must receive the impact of global culture entry, both positive and negative ones. It is undeniable that many traditional artists are able to adapt to those changes, and ultimately survive. Yet many artists and traditional arts are not able to survive and eventually disappear in the era. Therefore, to build cultural resilience, local performing arts based on traditional cultural values need to be empowered, conserved and protected. This article shows how the creation of a synergistic protection design for intellectual property rights of the artists and traditional art issued by 3 ministries, namely the Ministry of Technology and Higher Education, the Ministry of Education and Culture, and the Ministry of Justice and Human Rights in cooperation with the Regional Government.The Blueprint is an engineered cultural system which is expected to produce policies and strategies for the protection of traditional artists and their current creative work, i.e. "before" obtaining the intellectual property rights protection, and "after" obtaining IPR protection.The realization of IPR protection law on the copyrights of traditional artists and the right to TCE which is formed and synergized among ministries will show the presence of the nation as the protector of its artists and traditional culture art which then is able to realize national culture resilience.
