Optimalisasi Penggunaan Anggaran Untuk Kekayaan Intelektual Di Kantor Wilayah Kementrian Hukum Sumatera Utara

Abstract

Intellectual Property is a protection for works produced from human innovation or creation. This clearly plays an important role that must be undertaken by the Intellectual Property sector of the North Sumatra Regional Office of the Ministry of Law in providing socialization or dissemination to the entire community about the importance of copyright. The issues raised in this research include the optimization of the Intellectual Property budget at the North Sumatra Regional Office of the Ministry of Law through intensification and extensification, steps for optimizing budget usage, management of the Intellectual Property budget, and factors that hinder the effectiveness of budget management in the implementation of intellectual property programs. The research aims to describe and evaluate the steps for optimizing the use of the intellectual property budget, its management, and the factors that hinder the budget. The methods used for data collection include interviews, observations, and documentation. The research results indicate that the optimization of the use of the intellectual property budget has been carried out through several steps of intensification, such as dissemination or socialization programs, online socialization by providing guidance from dedicated websites or social media for intellectual property, and implementing supervision and control of intellectual property. Based on the average target achievement from 2022 to 2024, the budget usage is considered to almost meet the target. However, in 2024, there was a decrease of (0.06%) due to the fact that in 2024, the received budget increased significantly, which resulted in more activities, leading to time effectiveness issues and limitations in human resources. Therefore, the intellectual property sector can further maximize the work programs planned for the year in line with the predetermined fund withdrawal plan (RPD) as detailed in the work paper. It is hoped that intellectual property will increasingly reach socialization activities for local communities that still need knowledge about the importance of Intellectual Property Rights.
