ntellectual property rights support economic competitiveness and innovation. With its rich cultural diversity and 56 million SMEs, Indonesia has a strong potential to strengthen its creative industries. ISIP-2 supports Indonesia’s strategy to bolster innovation and income generation by improving stakeholder awareness, access and benefits from a robust Intellectual Property framework. Background Even though Indonesia has a well-developed Intellectual Property (IP) legal system, challenges in IP policy-making and implementation remain. The Swiss Federal Institute of Intellectual Property (IPI) and the Indonesian Directorate General of Intellectual Property (DGIP) implemented a first phase the focus of which was the creation of an IP legal framework and professional training for DGIP experts. ISIP-2 builds on this success by reinforcing business access to proficient IP protection government services. It will also work with selected producers of goods with Geographical Indicators (GI), helping them to access markets for their products. Objectives The overall development objective of ISIP-Phase 2 is to strengthen the use of Intellectual Property Rights (IPRs) in Indonesia in order to contribute to higher competitiveness, more value added to Indonesian products and to a positive impact on Indonesia’s economic development. ISIP-2 addresses IP systemic challenges and supports the government in its priority to develop the country’s creative industry sector through improved protection and valorisation of GIs. The strategy of the second phase of the ISIP Project is to consolidate and build upon existing results by translating them into tangible, sustainable benefits for key stakeholders. The Project will focus on those areas that the Government of Indonesia (GoI) considers as an economic priority and are likely to lead to the highest possible socio-economic benefits. The key beneficiaries will be the DGIP, the Creative Economy Agency (BEKRAF), and selected GI Trade Associations.
