Abstract

Indonesia has diverse geographical conditions, diverse customs, and rich cultural resources. This diversity naturally gives rise to a variety of products, including agricultural products. Due to this diversity, the protection of Geographical Indications for agricultural products is crucial to prevent violations. This research employs normative legal research with a perspective approach, utilizing data sources such as Law Number 20 of 2016 on Trademarks and Geographical Indications, books, journals, and other relevant materials. Data collection is conducted through a literature study with qualitative analysis. The research findings indicate that legal protection against violations of geographical indications can be implemented in two ways: preventive measures through registration and repressive measures through litigation in the Commercial Court. Legal remedies that can be pursued include both litigation and non-litigation methods such as consultation, negotiation, mediation, and arbitration.
