Legal Nature

In this article the author analyzes theoretical approaches which were formulated due to the appearance of complex objects of Intellectual Property Law. The attention is concentrated on the analysis of concepts that investigate the legal nature of a television format. The author considers that it is necessary to differentiate a positive approach which recognizes that a format is an object of Intellectual Property Law and negative approach which denies the possibility of television formats protection. Through the method of comparison between the scientific doctrine and judicial practice in the countries of the Romano-Germanic and Anglo-Saxon legal systems, the author classifies concepts to be developed by theoretic community. Thus, negative approach of the Romano-Germanic Legal system countries is confirmed by normative legal acts which relate to the ideas, methods and concepts. Representatives of the Anglo-Saxon Legal system make it impossible to protect a format within the doctrines: "scene a fair", "idea\expression", "merger", etc. The author prefers the positive approach which is divided into the following concepts of the analysis of a format: as a dramatic work (according to Copyright Law), as a hybrid object, as a synthetic object, as a compilation, as a complex object of IP Law. The author gives the definition to a television format, explains its legal nature, and views a format as one related to the concept of complex Intellectual Property Law objects. She analyzes judicial practice which has developed in Ukraine and abroad. Taking into consideration the fact that relations which are connected with the distribution of a format have not only national, but also global character, it is important to unify the given approaches and to use them in legislature. It is relevant to enhance and standardize the legislation in the television field which would contribute to the development of contractual relations between the countries.

For these reasons, the author analyzes alternativedispute resolution through arbitration to determine whether this method ofdispute resolution is more acceptable to foreign courts.The author particularly pays attention to the WIPO Center for Arbitrationand Mediation as a permanent arbitration institution whose primary activity isthe resolution of disputes in the field of intellectual property rights.

Limitations And Exceptions

Abstract The exceptions and limitations in copyright law have been firmly established by the Berne Convention. Indeed, these foundations consolidate and facilitate the unification in protecting copyrights of member states’ domestic laws. Nevertheless, the understanding and interpretations of each member are notably different and inadvertently maintain the inconsistency in international law. On that basis, the article analyzes the practice of Berne Convention’s codification and application in Vietnamese laws and judicial practice. Thereafter, the article emphasizes that Vietnamese intellectual property law has attempted to internalize the Berne Convention’s provisions on the limitations and exceptions of copyright law and proposes solutions to ameliorate such attempts. The article then shows the practice in Vietnamese judgment in order to show how Vietnamese intellectual property law receive the provision of limitations and exceptions in copyright law.

The legal protection for trademark in Indonesia is regulated in Law Number 20 Year 2016. According to the legal system which has adopted, this Act requires that legal protection of trademark available to be obtained through the registration, on the other words that there is an obligation for the owners to register their own trademarks. In fact, several small and medium entrepreneurs (SMEs) in Kediri still do not have awarnesse to register their own trademark yet, due to lack of the literation about the legal system of trademark, the procedure and its application. Unfortunately, it is common for the SMEs in Kediri used to use the other parties' trademark without any permission. The application of the trademark without permission is a violation in the perspective of intellectual property law. This situation will be facing the dispute among the parties, especially the claim from the genuine trademark owner who have registered their trademark first. The dispute will spend the time, energy and alot of money. For this reason, it is necessary to do a community service as assistance or accompaniment action, namely assist the SMEs in Tofu Industries in order to register the trademark which apply at Kediri Regency. The main goal of this community service is the SMEs will have legal awareness about the ownership of trademark certificate.AbstrakPerlindungan hukum atas merek di Indonesia diatur dalam Undang-undang Nomor 20 Tahun 2016. Berdasar sistem konstitutif yang dianut, undang-undang itu mensyaratkan bahwa perlindungan hukum atas merek bisa diperoleh melalui pendaftaran, artinya ada kewajiban bagi pemilik merek untuk mendaftarkan mereknya. Banyak pengusaha kecil dan menengah di Kediri belum memiliki merek sendiri, sehingga tidak jarang menggunakan merek pihak lain tanpa izin. Penggunaan merek tanpa izin merupakan pelanggaran. Untuk itu itu perlu dilakukan pendampingan pendaftaran merek bagi pengusaha kecil dan menengah di bidang Tahu di Kabupaten Kediri. Penggunaan merek sendiri akan menunjang pendapatan pelaku usaha kecil dan menenngah. Hal itu didapat dari penggunaan merek yang aman dan bebas dari gugatan pihak lain yang sangat menyita waktu, tenaga dan uang. Atas dasar itu, penganbdian masyarakat ini dilakukan dengan menggunakan metode sosialisasi tentang fungsi pendaftaran merek dan manfaat sertifikat merek. Selain sosialisasi dilakukan juga pendampingan pengurusan sertifikat merek. Tujuannya agar para pengusaha kecil dan menengah memiliki kesadaran hukum tentang pentingnya kepemilikan sertifikat merek.
