Initially, regulations regarding intellectual property rights in Indonesia had existed since the Regulations regarding trademark rights were implemented in the Dutch East Indies in 1912 in the Industrial Eigendom Regulations contained in Staatsblad No.

Copyright is the most frequently used right in the current digital era.

In an era where digital technology innovation occurs rapidly.
Law Number 13 of 2016 concerning Patents is the key to protecting exclusive rights to certain inventions or innovations.
Technology companies compete for patents to dominate the market and gain competitive advantage including how patents are accessed, retained or shared with others.
In today's digital era, brands play an important role in differentiating a product or service from its competitors, but with increasingly rapid technological developments, brand protection must be integrated into online branding Law Number 20 of 2016 concerning Trademarks and Geographical Indications is used to protect trademark rights owners and regulate trademark registration and other With advances in digital technology, new challenges arise in protecting IPR.

One of the main impacts of the digital era is a paradigm shift in content production and Previously, intellectual works such as music, films and books were printed in physical format and distributed through conventional channels such as retail stores and cinemas.
However, with the emergence of digital platforms such as YouTube.
Spotify, and Amazon Kindle, this content can now be accessed directly via the internet quickly and easily .
In recent years, there has been a significant increase in copyright infringement in the digital era.
