Abstract

A trademark serves as the identity of a product, aimed at distinguishing one product from the other producers’ product. In Indonesia, there is a protection for trademark owners, governed by Law No. 20 of 2016 on Trademarks and Geographical Indications. The main principles used in the protection of rights to a trademark are the constitutional principle and the first-to-file principle. The study is about the legal protection of rights to a trademark over the "GOTO" brand ownership dispute between PT Terbit Financial Technology and PT GoTo Gojek Tokopedia. This study uses a normative legal research method with approaches based on legislation and conceptual frameworks. According to the conducted research, the "GOTO" trademark owned by PT GoTo Gojek Tokopedia should not exist and its registration should not have been accepted because Indonesian trademark law adheres to the constitutional principle and the first-to-file principle. Legal protection, therefore, allows PT Terbit Financial Technology to file a trademark infringement lawsuit and/or a trademark cancellation. Consequently, the authorities responsible for enforcing rights to a trademark protection are expected to perform their duties effectively to prevent future brand ownership disputes.Keywords: Trademark, Legal Protection, GOTO AbstrakMerek merupakan identitas dari sebuah produk yang bertujuan untuk membedakan antara produk yang satu dengan produk milik produsen lainnya.

Prinsip utama yang digunakan dalam perlindungan pemilik hak atas merek adalah prinsip konstitusi dan prinsip first to file. Permasalahan yang dikaji dalam penelitian ini adalah mengenai perlindungan hukum terhadap pemilik hak atas merek atas sengketa kepemilikan merek “GOTO” antara PT Terbit Financial Technology dan PT GoTo Gojek Tokopedia. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode penelitian hukum normatif dengan metode pendekatan peraturan perundang-undangan dan pendekatan konseptual. Menurut penelitian yang dilakukan penulis, merek “GOTO” milik PT GoTo Gojek Tokopedia seharusnya tidak ada dan tidak diterima pendaftarannya karena hukum merek Indonesia menganut prinsip konstitusi dan prinsip first to file. Perlindungan hukumnya yaitu PT Terbit Financial Technology ini dapat mengajukan gugatan pelanggaran merek dan/atau pembatalan merek. Oleh karena itu, pihak yang berwenang dalam proses penegakan perlindungan hukum pemilik hak atas merek merek diharapkan melakukan tugasnya dengan maksimal agar tidak terjadi sengketa kepemilikan merek di masa yang akan datang.Kata kunci: Merek, Perlindungan Hukum, GOTO
