Pelindungan Hukum Terhadap Pemegang Hak Paten Terdaftar Atas Klaim Invensi Paten Sederhana dengan Objek yang Sama (Studi Kasus Pada Putusan Nomor 953 K/Pdt.Sus-HKI/Paten/2023)

Abstract

This study aims to analyze legal protection for registered patent holders against claims of simple patent inventions with the same object, as examined in the Supreme Court Decision Number 953 K/Pdt.Sus-HKI/Paten/2023. The case involves a dispute between PT. Prasimax Inovasi Teknologi, the registered patent holder for a tax monitoring system invention (Tapping Box), and PT. Subaga Mitra Solusi, which registered a simple patent for a similar invention. The legal issues discussed include the regulation of patents and simple patents under positive law in Indonesia, the possibility of re-registering an already patented invention as a simple patent, and the judge’s legal considerations in ruling on the case. This research uses normative juridical methods with statutory and case approaches. Data was obtained through library research, including primary, secondary, and tertiary legal materials. The findings indicate that in the Indonesian legal system, an invention that has been registered as a patent cannot be re-registered as a simple patent if it does not meet the novelty element. Therefore, the actions of PT. Subaga Mitra Solusi are considered to violate the exclusive rights of the patent holder and should be annulled according to the Supreme Court ruling. This study is expected to contribute to strengthening legal protection for patent holders and enhancing legal certainty in patent dispute resolution in Indonesia.
