INTRODUCTION Currently, in the digital era which continues to develop rapidly, changes in the economic and technological landscape have had a significant impact on the legal protection of intellectual property rights (IPR). The concept of IPR is becoming increasingly important along with increasing economic activity driven by innovation and creativity, especially in sectors that depend on intellectual activities such as creative industries, information technology, and research and development . Intellectual property rights cover various aspects, including copyrights, patents, trademarks, trade secrets and other related rights that protect intellectual works, inventions and brand identities from unauthorized use by Legal protection for IPR aims to encourage innovation, promote investment in Journal homepage: https://wsj. westscience-press. com/index. php/wslhr West Science Law and Human Rights research and development, and provide incentives to creators and innovators to continue creating new works . 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. Later in the same year, the Octrooi Wet which regulates patents came into force. And two years later the Dutch East Indies Government issued a calm regulation on Copyright in Staatsblad No. 600 of 1912 on Auteurswet. Copyright is the most frequently used right in the current digital era. Law Number 19 of 2002 concerning copyright is quite effective because with the development of technology and the digital era, copyright theft and duplication of digital assets occur more frequently. The application of copyright law is also important in the current digital era because it provides legal action for perpetrators who are proven to have violated copyright protection. 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. The internet and digital technology facilitate faster and easier access to digital content, but also expand the risks of copyright infringement, identity theft and piracy of intellectual A products . Additionally, the concept of intellectual property is faced with ethical and philosophical questions about the nature of ownership and access rights in an era where information can be copied, published, and disseminated quickly and cheaply. In this context, this research aims to investigate the challenges and solutions in protecting IPR in the digital era and to evaluate the effectiveness of existing legal instruments. holistic approach is needed to understand the complexity of this issue, which involves not only legal aspects, but also social, economic and technological factors.

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.
