This study examines the role of legal protection of

copyright in ensuring legal certainty for book printing

businesses in Indonesia. Although Law No. 28 of 2014 on

copyright provides a fairly clear legal framework, its

implementation in practice still faces various obstacles,

such as low understanding among business actors, weak

socialization, and complicated administrative

procedures. Through a qualitative approach using

normative legal and sociological legal methods, this

study finds that copyright protection has not yet fully

provided a sense of security and legal certainty for the

printing industry, particularly for small and medium-

sized businesses. Therefore, there is a need to strengthen

legal education, simplify legalization processes, and

develop inter-institutional strategies for the legitimate,

sustainable, and competitive development of the industry

in the era of an intellectual property-based economy.
