A Lesson For Universities In Indonesia On IP And Data Protection

The need for robust protections for intellectual property ("IP") and confidential data has become only more glaring as we stride fully into the digital era. This applies to companies and business sectors across the board, including the education sector.

Universities generate a large amount of IP, whether generated by the universities themselves, including through research activities, or from teaching activities. The first type of IP can include inventions, publications, new plant varieties, databases, computer programs and confidential information. And the latter may be in the form of print publications, theses, software, films, sound recordings, computer presentations and multimedia works.
