The Legal Status of Intellectual Property Rights as Marital Property in Marriage: Indonesian Positive Law and Islamic Law

Muhammad Malik Nahar, Yusdani Yusdani

Abstract


The rapid growth of the creative economy and digital technology has elevated the strategic role of Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) as high-value assets in modern society. Within the context of marriage, a crucial legal question arises whether IPR can be considered as joint marital property, particularly in cases of divorce or inheritance or not. This study seeks to examine the legal status of IPR as marital assets under Indonesian positive law and the Compilation of Islamic Law (KHI), as well as to explore their distribution mechanisms from a legal perspective. This is a normative legal research conducted through library-based analysis, employing statutory and conceptual approaches. Primary legal sources, including national laws and the KHI, are analyzed alongside secondary legal materials such as scholarly journals, books, and relevant court decisions. A logical-deductive method is used to construct coherent legal arguments based on applicable norms and doctrines. The findings indicate that the economic rights attached to IPR may be classified as joint marital assets, as recognized in several court rulings. However, the absence of explicit statutory regulation necessitates progressive judicial interpretation to uphold fairness between disputing parties. This highlights the importance of consistent jurisprudence and the need for future legal refinement in this area.
