Mr. Fatoni Dayansha presented the second presentation, which covered the annual work plan for the LPDB Incubator Cooperation in 2022.

How do I take care of licensing a brand name that turns out to have the same name as a registered business if the business I own is called Andanan Batik Lampung, a business that has the same connotation? Then, I also have a problem regarding the motif of my brand, which is imitated by other companies and produced on a large scale. However, when I wanted to register IPR, it turned out that I couldn't register it. Then what is the solution to my problem, and what should I do to protect the originality of the motifs of this company? ", Hidayatullah (Andanan Batik Lampung) said. Some tenants have issues with licensing and the protection of their works by their respective tenant companies.

Then, according to Mr. Samsurizal, it is preferable to update names by adding letters without affecting the sound connotation or adding more names in order to maintain name resemblance. If you want to get back into brand name licensing, rebranding is a better option. Because the person who would gain the advantages is the first to register it, the copyright of a theme is tied to the Ministry of Law and Human Rights. It is preferable to compare the product's quality to that of Andanan.
