This thesis examines how a trademark parodi can be categorized as a trademark infringement based on the Indonesian trademark law and United States trademark law and its court decisions as well as legal protection for trademark owners for trademark parodi actions. The application method of writing this thesis is normative juridical with a statutory approach. The normative juridical method is used to conduct an assessment of the applicable legal rules, especially those relating to the issue of Trademark Parodi. Trademark Parodi which can be categorized as a trademark infringement under UUMIG is a Trademark Parodi which has similarities in principle with a registered mark/famous mark and is used as a mark in similar goods/services. In contrast to Indonesia, in America it can still be categorized as a trademark infringement even though it is not used in the same class of goods/services. Based on UUMIG, brand owners who are harmed by Trademark Parodi's actions can take civil legal action, criminal law efforts, and/or legal remedies through alternative dispute resolution. Meanwhile, in America, there are additional legal remedies for well-known brand owners against this trademark parodi problem, namely a trademark tarnishment lawsuit. Regulators should add provisions regarding trademark infringement for dissimilar goods/services and also for brands/brand elements whose use is not as a mark and lawsuits for infringement of well-known marks for dissimilar goods/services in the upcoming UUMIG. This is intended so that the upcoming UUMIG can accommodate the problem of Trademark Parodi, most of which are not used as brands. It is also necessary to regulate the concept of trademark dilution, especially regarding a trademark tarnishment lawsuit as an additional legal remedy for well-known brands against the issue of Trademark Parodi."
Kepastian hukum mengenai pendaftaran nama organisasi sebagai merek masih sangatlah kurang jelas. Kurang jelasnya kepastian hukum dalam pendaftaran nama organisasi sebagai merek dikarenakan tidak adanya peraturan yang menyatakan baik secara langsung atau tidak langsung mengenai posisi nama suatu organisasi dalam hukum merek. Hal ini tentunya menimbulkan suatu area yang abu – abu mengenai apakah suatu nama organisasi dalam didaftarkan sebagai merek. Pendaftaran nama organisasi sebagai merek di Indonesia ini terjadi karena banyaknya jumlah organisasi yang ada di Indonesia. Organisasi ini mendaftarkan namanya sebagai merek untuk mendapatkan hak eksklusif dan perlindungan hukum atas penggunaan nama organisasi tersebut. Dengan adanya perlindungan dan hak eksklusif ini, maka akan mencegah pihak lain yang tidak bertanggung jawab untuk menggunakan nama organisasi dan bahkan dapat menjatuhkan nama organisasi tersebut. Oleh karena itu, dalam tulisan ini akan dibahas mengenai apakah suatu organisasi dapat mendaftarkan namanya sebagai merek dan bagaimana seharusnya pengaturan mengenai pendaftaran nama organisasi sebagai merek dan kiranya apa yang bisa dilakukan untuk meningkatkan perbaikan sistem pendaftaran nama organisasi menjadi lebih baik
The legal certainty regarding registering an organization's name as a trademark is still very unclear. The lack of legal certainty in registering an organization's name as a mark is due to the absence of regulations that state either directly or indirectly the position of an organization's name in trademark law. This naturally raises a gray area as to whether an organization's name is registered as a trademark. Registration of the name of the organization as a trademark in Indonesia is due to the large number of organizations in Indonesia. This organization registers its name as a trademark to obtain exclusive rights and legal protection for the use of the organization's name. With this protection and exclusive rights, it will prevent other parties who are not responsible for using the name of the organization and can even drop the name of the organization. Therefore, in this paper we will discuss whether an organization can register its name as a trademark and how it should regulate the registration of an organization's name as a brand and what can be done to improve the improvement of the organization's name registration system for the better.
