The Existence and Actualization of Good Faith in Intellectual Property Law: M. Zulfa Aulia Public Defense Examination

Good faith has become the basis or principle of all law systems. However, in intellectual property law, there are differences in the juridical regulation of good faith. So, there is a need for further study regarding the placement and use of the concept of good faith in acquiring and protecting intellectual rights.

The Doctoral Study Program of Law (PSHPD), Faculty of Law, Universitas Islam Indonesia, again held a public defense examination in the Audiovisual Room, Floor 4, Faculty of Law, UII, on (13/12). Doctoral candidate M. Zulfa Aulia succeeded in obtaining a doctorate by defending his dissertation entitled “The Normativity of Legal Principles in Legal Regulations and Court Decisions: Study of the Existence and Actualization of Good Faith in Intellectual Property Law.”

The doctoral candidate, M. Zulfa Aulia, in his dissertation, highlights three main points as follows: First, although good faith is only made explicit in trademark law regulations, in judicial reality, the use of good faith is determined by its relevance. Good faith is relevant to preventing and canceling the registration of dishonestly intelectual right. Second, judicial reality also shows that good faith does not only apply to trademark law regulations but also to copyrights and patents. In reality, parties, including judges, use good faith as a legal argument to strengthen accusations, defenses, or decisions that specific intellectual right do not meet the requirements for obtaining rights and should not be registered. Third, it is necessary to accommodate the principle of good faith in intellectual property law regulations through behavioral provisions, especially regarding the conditions for acquiring rights. Then, to make good faith explicit in regulations, a significant test in judicial practice, the formation pattern of national legal regulations, and the abstraction of their formulation and placement are needed.

On this occasion, the public defence examination session was chaired by the Chair of the PSHPD, Prof. Dr. M. Syamsudin, S.H., M.H., with members consisting of Promotor, Prof. M. Hawin, S.H., LL.M., Ph.D., Co-Promotor 1, Prof. Nandang Sutrisno, S.H., LL.M., M.Hum., Ph.D., Co-Promotor 2, Prof. Dr. Shidarta, S.H., M.Hum., with examiners: Prof. Dr. Budi Agus Riswandi, S.H., M.Hum., Prof. Dr. Sri Wartini, S.H., M.Hum., Ph.D., Hayyan Ulhaq, S.H., LL.M., Ph.D.

After presenting her dissertation and answering questions the board of examiners asked, M. Zulfa Aulia was successfully appointed Doctor of Law. Dr. M. Zulfa Aulia, S.H., M.H. officially holds the 169th doctoral degree from PSHPD FH UII. Promotor Prof. M. Hawin, S.H., LL.M., Ph.D., congratulated and advised them to carry out the Prophet’s orders, to be always humble, always share knowledge with others, and not hide the knowledge they have.

New Perspective on the Modernization of Nagari Minangkabau: Aulia Rahmat Public Defense Examination

Efforts to protect Nagari as local wisdom tend to lead to local bureaucratization, which is caused by the objective relations formed by the state towards Nagari. Local bureaucratization has reduced Nagari’s value as a social system built by the complexity of Minangkabau community relations.

The Doctoral Study Program of Law, Faculty of Law, Universitas Islam Indonesia (UII), held the public defence examination in the Auditorium on the 4th floor, Faculty of Law, UII on (30/11). Aulia Rahmat, a doctoral candidate, successfully earned her doctorate by defending her dissertation titled “Reformulation of State Policy in Protecting Local Wisdom: A Study of Nagari Dynamics and Sustainability in West Sumatra.”

Aulia Rahmat, the doctoral candidate, explained, “My dissertation originally aimed to explore the challenges and transformations of Nagari within Indonesia’s modern government system. Some experts view these changes as a way to modernize Nagari, integrating it with the post-independence government. On the flip side, concerns arise that these changes might disconnect Nagari from its roots. Previous research often focused solely on the artifacts in Minangkabau relations within Nagari, overlooking the broader components of Minangkabau as a social system. In this dissertation, I strive to offer a fresh perspective on the relationships within Nagari and propose a model for healthy interactions between Nagari and the state.”

On this occasion, the public defense examination session was chaired by the Dean of Faculty of Law, Prof. Dr. Budi Agus Riswandi, S.H., M.Hum., with members consisting of Promotor, Prof. Dr. Esmi Warassih Pujirahayu S.H., M.S., Co-Promotor, Prof. Dr. M. Syamsudin, S.H., M.H., with examiners: Prof. Dr. Sudjito, S.H., M.Si, Dr. Yance Arizona, S.H., M.H., M.A., Prof. Dr. Ni’matul Huda, S.H., M.Hum., and Dr. Suparman Marzuki, S.H., M.Si.

After presenting her dissertation and answering the examiners’ questions, Aulia Rahmat obtained the title of Doctor of Law. Dr. Aulia Rahmat, S.H.I, M.A.HK. now officially a graduate of the doctoral program of law. His supervisor, Prof. Dr. Esmi Warassih Pujirahayu S.H., M.S., praised this extraordinary dissertation, emphasizing its importance in reviving forgotten aspects of Indonesian local wisdom. The promotor congratulated Dr. Aulia Rahmat and advised him not to adopt the philosophy of banana trees, which only bear fruit once and then die. Instead, she suggests to addpot the philosophy of mango trees that bear fruit continuously and provide enjoyment for everyone.
