During the 17th Round of Negotiations of the Indonesia-European Union Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (IEU-CEPA) Working Group on Intellectual Property (WGIP), Indonesia’s Ministry of Law and Human Rights addressed various issues related to the intellectual property (IP) system.
Marchienda Werdany, head of foreign cooperation at the ministry’s Directorate General of Intellectual Property, highlighted the objective of ensuring the IP protection systems of both the EU and Indonesia.
