Including the discovery of computer program methods, presentations on information found were easier to obtain patent licenses. Even so, there are also intellectual works that apparently cannot be patented. Here are intellectual works that cannot be patented: If the other party obtaining the transfer of rights from the inventor will have a patent for 20 years from the first day of the date of receipt. The rest, after 20 years the exclusive rights will become a public domain. Public domains are intended for the general public, of course, they continue to process licenses to patent holders. Patent rights in intellectual property rights have territorial principles. The territorial principle in this case the patent rights only applies in the country of the inventor submitting a patent application and given. Submissions are made by sending a letter of request to the Director General of Intellectual Property Rights (DJHKI). If the inventor obtains patent rights in Indonesia, for example, the patent rights obtained are not valid or do not have patent rights in other countries. The obligation of the inventor to obtain patent rights has the right to pay an annual fee. The fee is part of the cost of maintaining the patent up to the last year of the protection period. Patents will be legally lost if not paid for three consecutive years. The cost of maintaining patent rights is determined by PNBP Non-Tax State Revenues at the Ministry of law and human rights.
