As a law firm specializing in the entertainment and lifestyle industries, K-CASE Lawyer holds a deep passion and understanding of intellectual property (“IP”) and its vital role in creative sectors. Recently, an important issue arose concerning the display of the One Piece flag, prompting our managing partner, Yudistira Adipratama, S.H., LL.M, to raise his thoughtful concern. Having previously spoken on the comic industry during the Jakarta Creative Conference 2024, this time, Hukum Online exclusively interviewed him about his views that this phenomenon should not be seen as lacking nationalism. Instead, it should inspire Indonesian animators and IP companies.
K-CASE Lawyer upholds the value of nationalism, which must also be measured by the achievements of the nation’s future generation on the international stage. Like One Piece, works by local creators can enrich Independence Day celebrations, transforming animation and IP-based works into mediums of national expression, historical remembrance, and hope for Indonesia’s future.
