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.

The Story of Nailah, a Student From the Undergraduate Study Program in Law UII who passed the Student Exchange at Hasanuddin University

Very proud! Nailah, a student in the third semester of the Undergraduate Study Program in Law, Faculty of Law UII, has successfully passed to take part in the Student Exchange under the scheme of MBKM Program at the Bachelor of Law Study Program, Faculty of Law, Hasanuddin University. Nailah will study for 1 semester and after that will convert the courses she took in Makassar to the Undergraduate Study Program in Law.

Nailah’s journey began because of advice from her cousin who was a participant in the Student Exchange batch 2 (PMM 2) at the University of Papua. Nailah was very interested in this program because she thought about when else she would be able to explore the vast land of Indonesia and get to know the cultural diversity that existed in the place where she would study for one semester. Apart from that, he wants to have friends from all over the archipelago who of course have different characteristics. When she received news that PMM batch 3 would open, Nailah immediately looked for information through her cousin and the UII website. He researched and read carefully what he could find from the UII website regarding the program

However, it is a shame that PMM information is still very minimal on the UII website.S he only received information such as the recommendation to meet the DPA and Head of the Study Program first to discuss the program before registering. Never giving up, Nailah remained enthusiastic and started looking for information through her social media. Long story short, PMM 3 registration opened, that’s where Nailah started to get busy going back and forth to campus to take care of the necessary documents. At that time, preparations were very tight considering that Nailah was going back to Riau to welcome Eid with her beloved family.

After much thought, Nailah decided to choose Hasanuddin University as her first choice and thank God she passed. After that, he started to contact Mrs. Ayunita Nur Rohanawati, S.H., M.H. as DPA and facing back to the Head of the UII Undergraduate Legal Study Program, namely Mr. Dodik Setiawan Nur Heriyanto, S.H., M.H., LL.M., Ph.D. what courses can be taken at UNHAS later and contact Mr Muhammad Arief Sateio Kinady, A.Md. who is the Head of the Academic Administration Division. It was at this stage that Nailah began to feel doubtful about whether she should continue with this program or not, this was caused by her confusion because she felt that the campus also did not understand this program. However, with the remaining enthusiasm he decided to continue until the end. He believes there will be something beautiful with all his hard work so far. It turned out to be true, he felt many benefits from the program.

While at UNHAS, Nailah experienced a very new environment. The learning system at UNHAS is very different from UII, where UNHAS uses a team teaching system for all its courses. At UNHAS, Nailah took 6 courses, namely Administrative Court Procedural Law, Constitutional Court Procedural Law, Civil Procedural Law and Civil Justice Practice, Supervision Law, Law and Human Rights and Agrarian Law with a total of 21 credits including the Nusantara Module which is a Compulsory Subject of this program.

While undergoing this program, it is the memories spent with friends that really leave a lasting impression on my heart. Where we meet new people who of course have their own characteristics and characteristics in a short time. Memories of the excitement and tiredness of walking home from college to save costs and going for walks around Makassar City together. PMM teaches us to become more tolerant humans in various things, indirectly also teaches us what it means to be grateful for the scenario that God has set for our lives. After this program is finished, which is around December, Nailah will be even more daring to try things that will definitely have a positive impact on her life

She thanks to Mrs. Ayu and Mr. Kinady who were willing to answer various questions regarding the conversion system. As well as thanks to Mr Dodik who has been very supportive in various matters regarding Nailah’s participation in this program.
