Ichwan Anggawirya: PB Djarum Badminton Scholarship Auditions Do Not Exploit Children

10 - September - 2019

The talent search audition for Badminton conducted by the Badminton Association (PB) Djarum became a polemic due to comments stating that PB Djarum was exploiting children under Law No. 35 of 2014.

Intellectual Property Rights practitioner and expert, Master of Law from Bung Karno University, Ichwan Anggawirya, stated in a group discussion forum at the Master of Law campus of Bung Karno University on Monday (9/9/2019) that there is no correlation between the logo used on the PB Djarum scholarship audition t-shirts and the Djarum Cigarettes logo.

Ichwan stated that the Djarum Foundation logo is registered in class 41 for services in education and culture, social services, and sports services, so it has no connection with the Djarum Cigarettes logo, and therefore there is nothing wrong in this matter.

"The word 'exploiting children' is actually an exaggeration," said Ichwan, "but it might be more appropriate to say it was a miscommunication. Meanwhile, the Djarum cigarettes logo falls under classification 34," revealed Ichwan Anggawirya.

Meanwhile, the Head of Alumni of the Master of Law UBK, Ir Petrus Bramandaru SH, MH, at the same event stated that Law Number 35 of 2019 is the Law on Amendments to Law Number 23 of 2002 concerning Child Protection.

"It is inappropriate to use it as a basis for accusing PB Djarum, in this case the Djarum Badminton Association, of exploiting children; it's irrelevant," said Bramandaru, recalling that PP Number 109 of 2012, Article 36 Paragraph (1), states that any person who produces and/or imports tobacco products that sponsor an activity of an institution and/or individual may only do so under the following conditions:

a. not using the trademark and logo of Tobacco Products, including the brand image of Tobacco Products; and

b. not aiming to promote Tobacco Products.

"So, the Djarum Foundation brand and logo are completely different from the Djarum Cigarettes brand and logo. Do not simply accuse PB Djarum of exploiting children in relation to the word 'Djarum' printed on the t-shirts worn by the children participating in the Djarum Foundation scholarship auditions. We all know that Djarum Foundation has produced badminton champions and brought glory to Indonesia in the world of badminton," explained Bramandaru.

Copyright as an Intangible Movable Property: Understanding Tangible and Intangible Value

By: Dr. Ichwan Anggawirya, S.Sn., S.H., M.H. In Intellectual Property law practice, one of the most common misconceptions is the view that possession of a physical object is identical to possession of all rights attached to that object. For example, purchasing a painting is often understood as a basis for reproducing that painting. Similarly, receiving the source code of a computer...

Copyright, Creator, and Ownership of Computer Programs in the Indonesian Legal Perspective

Dr. Ichwan Anggawirya, S.Sn., S.H., M.H.

When Form Becomes Identity: Understanding 3D Brands and Industrial Design in Branding Strategy

Dr. Ichwan Anggawirya, S.Sn., S.H., M.H. The development of intellectual property law shows that the identity of a trademark is no longer limited to just a name, writing, or two-dimensional logo. In commercial practice, certain product shapes and packaging often have a stronger distinctive power than the brand name itself. Consumers in many situations can recognize the origin of...

Why is it difficult for the law to provide an absolute definition of a famous mark

Dr. Ichwan Anggawirya, S.Sn., S.H., M.H. The concept of a "well-known mark" is one of the most important concepts in trademark law, yet it is also one of the most difficult to define absolutely. Almost all trademark legal systems in various countries recognize it as a basis for broader legal protection for a mark that has a strong reputation. However, interestingly,...

The Importance of Intellectual Property Due Diligence in Companies: Trademarks, Patents, Designs, Co

Dr. Ichwan Anggawirya, S.Sn., S.H., M.H. Many companies still view physical assets such as buildings, machinery, inventory, and financial reports as the primary measures of business strength.

When Market Perceptions Change and Global Brand Giants Fall

Dr. Ichwan Anggawirya, S.Sn., S.H., M.H. Not a few major global brands were once considered too strong to be defeated. These names not only dominated the market but also shaped consumption culture, social status symbols, and even the identity of certain generations. However, business history shows that no matter how strong a brand's power, it can still decline when companies...

Brand as a Composition: Harmony of Sound, Color, Form, and Social Resonance in Architecture

Dr. Ichwan Anggawirya, S.Sn., S.H., M.H. When dissected more deeply, a brand is not merely a trade name or a visual symbol that functions to differentiate one product from another. In a much more complex dimension, the process of brand formation is actually very similar to the birth of a musical work. Just as a song is composed through the harmony of notes, rhythm, tempo, emotional...

Viral Brands Are No Accident: Branding Entry Strategies in Creating Market Explosions

Dr. Ichwan Anggawirya, S.Sn., S.H., M.H. Not a few people assume that a brand goes viral solely due to luck, social media momentum, or a fleeting trend. However, in contemporary branding practices, virality is often the result of a perception strategy consciously designed from the outset. Some brands are even intentionally shaped to become public talking points before their products are...

Dr. Ichwan Anggawirya, S.Sn., S.H., M.H. In classical business theory, brands are generally understood as commercial identities that function to differentiate the goods or services of one business entity from those of another. However, in contemporary branding practices, some of the world's major brands have evolved far beyond the mere function of product identification. At a...

Intentionally "Wrong" but Strong Brand Name Strategies

Dr. Ichwan Anggawirya, S.Sn., S.H., M.H. In contemporary branding practices, there is an interesting phenomenon where some companies build their brand identity through words that are linguistically considered non-standard, unusual, or appear as deviations from commonly known spellings. Although often perceived as a form of writing "error," such modifications are in fact...
