UPNVJ Public Relations - Four students from the Faculty of Law at the Veteran National Development University Jakarta (UPNVJ), namely Daffania Aldhiyata, Shabrina Rifdah Larasati, Vanessa Debora Muaja, and Radjendra Al-Fattah Banu, completed an independent internship at the Directorate General of Intellectual Property, Ministry of Law and Human Rights. The internship took place in late 2025 at the Subdirectorate of Enforcement and Investigation of the Directorate of Law Enforcement, DJKI, where they were directly involved in receiving complaints, preparing investigative documents, analyzing evidence, and field supervision for intellectual property infringement cases. This program aims to strengthen students' practical legal competencies, in line with the target of increasing national IP literacy, which reached 60 percent by 2024 according to DJKI data.
The students assisted with administrative processes, from verifying complaints to preparing investigation reports and interviewing witnesses. They also analyzed legal elements in cases such as bid rigging and conducted legal audits to mitigate project risks. Furthermore, they contributed to the drafting of a Ministerial Regulation on the mechanism for handling IP violations in electronic systems, examining the substance of norms and the format of regulations to address regulatory gaps in the digital era.
Fieldwork included joint supervision (wasmat) with Civil Servant Investigators from the Directorate General of Intellectual Property Rights (DJKI), where students directly verified public reports. This experience provided a deep understanding of the importance of prudence in law enforcement, particularly in cases involving digital evidence and inter-agency coordination. This internship is part of UPNVJ's independent program, which, according to internal faculty data, involved 50 Law students by 2025, to support the improvement of Indonesia's Intellectual Property Rights (KI) index, which rose 10 points to 41.4 in the 2024 Global Innovation Index.
