The protection of a person's natural rights to his or her
intellectual property is of paramount importance, and this is
presently an international practice.
By the enactment of the Patent Act In 1989; Indonesia has
tried to be in line with the requirements of such
international practice. This is also the latest example of
Indonesia's efforts to encourage and facilitate foreign
investment in the country.
Australia had already had a Patent Act in place considerably
earlier than Indonesia, and to stress the role of technology
in the Act, Australia in 1990 totally revised this Act In
order to enhance indigenous innovations and to become an
exporter of technology.
Although both Patent Acts correspond to international
practices, the implementation of certain provisions in
respective Act might not be similar, given national interest
dictated the policies of each country.
This thesis identifies and makes straight comparlson of
provisions contained in the new Acts of both countries and
considers the possible consequences for Indonesia by
extrapolation from the Australian experiences.
The conclusion drawn in this thesis is that the organisation
and clarity of the Australian Act indicates the substantial
amount of preparation conducted prior to the enactment of
this Act.
