Overview of Intellectual Property Rights at Semarang State University in the Year Period 2020 – 2024

Abstract

The digital era is characterized by rapid growth in innovation and creative industries. Alongside these developments, the risk of copyright infringement has become a significant challenge, highlighting the importance of registering works to safeguard intellectual property rights (IPR). This research aims to analyze trends in intellectual property rights registration within the Semarang State University environment and explore how these trends contribute to enhancing institutional protection of IPR. The study employs a descriptive observational approach with a time series design. The research population includes all intellectual property rights registered at Semarang State University between 2020 and 2024. Using total sampling, the study examines 6,125 registered works during this period. Secondary data were obtained from the Institute for Research and Community Service at Semarang State University. Results indicate a consistent increase in intellectual property rights registration over the last five years. The most commonly registered types of IPR are copyright, followed by simple patents, patents, industrial product designs, trademarks, geographical indications, and plant variety protection. These findings provide valuable insights for universities aiming to strengthen IPR management and encourage innovation.
