Abstract

Geographical Indications (GIs) are collective intellectual property rights that protect place names or designations used to identify goods with unique qualities, properties, or reputations from specific geographic areas. GIs were adapted from the provisions of the Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPS) Agreement, which provides national and international legal protection to registered GI products. GIs are particularly important for developing countries like Indonesia, as they help maintain the authenticity of local products, often known by other regions, especially agricultural products. However, conflicts between trademark regulations and GIs have hindered the growth of GIs in Indonesia. In response to this issue, the Indonesian government enacted Law No. 20 of 2016 on Trademark and Geographical Indications, granting GIs equal status to trademarks. Despite this, it has become evident through discussions with relevant agencies that the Trademark Law and GIs are not widely known by the community, including the Family Welfare Movement Organization (PKK) in Tanggamus Regency. Ironically, Tanggamus, one of the regencies in Lampung Province, holds GI certification for its Robusta coffee. The PKK, with its strategic role, can play a vital part in disseminating information about GIs to the community, including remote villages where coffee farmers reside. Therefore, this community service program aims to provide information about GI regulations to PKK members, hoping that they will help reach a wider audience in Tanggamus Regency.

Abstract

The government officially recognized the existence of traditional fishermen through Law Number 7 of 2016, focusing on Fisherman Protection and Empowerment. Nevertheless, these traditional fishermen remain an economically disadvantaged group, constrained by their reliance on age-old fishing techniques and practices. This situation hinders their access to vital information about maritime zones, in accordance with UNCLOS'82, and capture fisheries zones. The plight of traditional fishermen in Muara Gading Mas Village, East Lampung, serves as a stark illustration of this reality. The project also includes education on fishing jurisdictions within Indonesian waters. Employing a Community Education method, this service project engages representatives of the Muara Gading Mas fishing community in a discussion forum focused on their rights as traditional fishermen. This initiative aims to boost traditional fishermen's comprehension across various indicators, including marine area zoning, the protection of fishermen's rights, the fishermen protection law, the benefits of counseling for traditional fishermen, and understanding the process of reporting problems encountered by traditional fishermen. Nonetheless, improving the welfare of traditional fishermen in Muara Gading Mas Village necessitates government intervention, particularly in the provision of facilities to enhance their traditional fishing activities.
