인은 및 inconscient, ex parte mark, or assignor estoppel could arise from such a situation. Here are some suggestions on how to protect your invention:

  1. Keep Detailed Records:
    Maintain thorough documentation of your invention’s development, including dates, iterations, and any related correspondence. This can help validate your claims and establish priority in case of disputes.

  2. Use Confidentiality Agreements:
    Before disclosing your invention to anyone, such as manufacturers or investors, have them sign a confidentiality or non-disclosure agreement. This legally binds them to keep your invention secret.

  3. file Patent Applications Early:
    File patent applications as soon as possible. In many countries, including the U.S., the first to file, not the first to invent, is granted the patent. So, even if you’ve kept detailed records, someone else could beat you to the patent office.

  4. Be Cautious with Public Disclosure:
    Be aware that public disclosure of your invention before filing a patent application can bar you from obtaining patent protection in many countries. This includes public use, sale, or disclosure of your invention.

  5. Consider Trade Secret Protection:
    While patents offer limited-term protection, trade secrets can protect your invention indefinitely, as long as you keep it secret. Consider whether your invention can be kept as a trade secret instead of, or in addition to, pursuing a patent.

  6. Stay Updated with Relevant Laws:
    Intellectual property laws vary by country. Keep yourself updated with the laws in the countries where you might seek protection for your invention.

  7. Seek Professional Help:
    Consider consulting with a patent attorney or agent. They specialize in intellectual property law and can provide advice tailored to your situation and jurisdiction.

By taking these steps, you can better protect your invention and ensure that you, not someone else or the public, benefit from your hard work and creativity.

Unlinking Ukraine’s ‘Otak Lab’ with Bali Drug Scandal: Disputing Fredy Pratama’s Involvement

Headline: Ukrainian Drug Lord Arrested in Thailand as Indonesia‘s Narcotics Crackdown Intensifies

In a significant development in Indonesia’s ongoing battle against the drug trade, a notorious Ukrainian drug lord, Roman Nazarenco, has been apprehended by the Indonesian National Police (Polri) in Bangkok, Thailand. Despite the arrest, Polri has dismissed speculations linking Nazarenco to Fredy Pratama, a major international drug lord.

According to Brigjen Mukti Juharsa, the Director of Narcotics Crime Investigation at the Indonesian National Police’s Criminal Investigation Division, Nazarenco’s arrest is not connected to Fredy Pratama’s network. "This case is not related to Fredy," he clarified at Bandara Soekarno Hatta, Banten, on Sunday, December 22, 2024.

Thailand, known as a haven for drug users, has become a sanctuary for Indonesian drug fugitives, with many Indonesian Police Officers (DPOs) still present in Thailand, Mukti disclosed. The collaboration between Polri and the Thai police continues to strengthen, with both parties working together to capture more drug lords.

roman Nazarenco was arrested in relation to a case involving a drug laboratory in Bali. The Ukrainian national faces the possibility of the death penalty, along with a fine of IDR 10 billion. Nazarenco is charged under articles 114 and 127 of the Indonesian Criminal Code, with a minimum sentence of 5 years imprisonment.

Earlier this year, on May 2, 2024, a raid was conducted on a villa in Canggu, Kuta Utara, Badung, Bali, which was suspected of being a drug manufacturing site. The raid resulted in the arrest of three foreign nationals: Ivan Volovod, Mikhayla Volovod, and Konstantin Krutz. The syndicate, operating under the name ‘Hydra Indonesia‘, had cleverly blended the drug lab within residential areas to avoid detection.

The concealment of the lab, known as a clandestine lab, was unique as it housed both hydroponic and chemical labs in the same basement. The lab produced precursor materials for ecstasy and was used to cultivate hydroponic ganja. Transactions were conducted using cryptocurrency and darknet forums.

The Indonesian police seized cryptocurrency totaling IDR 4 billion, which was the proceeds from their drug sales over a six-month period. The operation marks the first successful bust of its kind in Indonesia, where a clandestine lab was discovered to be producing and distributing both ecstasy and ganja simultaneously.

As the international drug trade continues to evolve, so too must the strategies used to combat it. Indonesia’s relentless pursuit of drug lords and criminal networks, both domestically and abroad, reflects the government’s commitment to maintaining a drug-free society.

**Breaking News: UIN Makassar U ]);

University’s Campus Unveils Trillion-Rupiah Fake Currency Operation**

In a significant bust, the Indonesian National Police (Polisi) have uncovered a massive operation producing counterfeit banknotes, taking place within the campus of the coveted Islamic University of Indonesia (UIN) Alauddin Makassar in Gowa, South Sulawesi. The case has resulted in the arrests of 17 individuals, including the university’s library head, and the seizure of substantial amounts of fake currency and foreign exchange.

A windfall of fake money

In a press conference, South Sulawesi Police Chief, Irjen Pol Yudhiawan Wibisono, revealed the seized goods: "We’ve seized fake currency worth trillions. There were 4,554 pieces of 100,000-rupiah notes from 2016 series, 6 pieces of 100,000-rupiah notes from the 99 series, and 234 uncut pieces worth 100,000 rupiah."

The police also confiscated foreign currency, including South Korean Won and Vietnamese Dong. Notably, they seized a high-quality color photocopy of a Bank Indonesia (BI) deposit certificate worth 45 trillion rupiah and a state bonds (SBN) paper worth 700 trillion rupiah.

From photocopy to trillions

The operation’s scope also included a state-of-the-art printer, purchased in Surabaya but manufactured in China, worth 600 million rupiah. The police seized 98 items in total, including inks and magnifying glasses used in the counterfeiting process.

The operation unfolded after a local resident was given fake money and reported it to the police. The investigation led police to a ring involving 17 individuals with different roles, including two employees of a state-owned bank.

A tale of two currencies

The operation worked on a "one real, two fake" exchange rate. Transactions involved exchanging real money for twice the amount in fake currency. Police have interrogated six witnesses and expect to file charges soon.

In line with CNN Indonesia’s tagging policy, this article should be tagged with ‘polisi’ (police) and ‘uang palsu’ (counterfeit money).

Stay informed, stay safe. This is a developing story, check back for updates.

"Local Residents’ Coins Exchange Rejected, Bank Indonesia Speaks Out"

by Chief Editor
written by Chief Editor

Bank Indonesia (BI) Head Marlison Hakim confirms that circulating coin rupiah remains valid for payment in Indonesia. For currency exchange, BI offers three services: exchange of damaged or withdrawn banknotes, exchange of withdrawn coins, and exchange through Bank Indonesia’s PINTAR mobile app. Marlison stresses that coins can be exchanged via Bank Indonesia’s mobile app or common banks, as per the 2011 Currency Law. Recent viral social media videos showed a BI employee denying an customer’s coin exchange, with the customer claiming they were asked to dispose of 8 kg of coins. Marlison assured that BI’s commitment to serving customers remains a priority.

Title: "Spreading Video: Citizens Exchanging OldCurrency rejected, BI Speaks Out"

Introduction

In recent days, a video has been circulating on social media platforms in Indonesia, depicting citizens attempting to exchange old IDR (Rupiah) currency notes at a bank but being turned away. The video, which appears to show a bank employee refusing to accept the old notes, has sparked outrage and confusion among the public. The Bank Indonesia (BI), the country’s central bank, has since addressed the issue, aiming to clarify the existing regulations and dispel misconceptions.

The Video

The video, which has been widely shared on platforms like WhatsApp, Facebook, and Twitter, shows a man trying to exchange a stack of old IDR 50,000 and 100,000 banknotes at a bank. The bank employee can be seen refusing to accept the notes, citing that the bank only accepts new notes. The video has raised questions about the validity of old currency notes and the regulations surrounding their exchange.

Bank Indonesia’s Statement

Bank Indonesia has swiftly addressed the issue, releasing a statement to clarify the matter. The central bank confirmed that both old and new banknotes maintain their legal tender status and can be used for transactions. However, they explained the context behind the bank employee’s action in the video.

According to BI, banks have the right to refuse old notes due to their worn-out condition, which can hamper the Automatic Teller Machine (ATM) and cash recycling process. Here are the key points from BI’s statement:

  1. Legal Tender Status: Both old and new banknotes are legal tender and have the same value. They can be used for transactions at any place of business.

  2. Refusal of Worn-Out Notes: Banks can refuse old notes that are in poor condition or torn, as they can disrupt the cash recycling process and damage ATMs. However, they must still accept new banknotes.

  3. Exchange at BI Offices: Citizens can exchange their old notes for new ones at Bank Indonesia offices or any commercial banks, free of charge. There is no limit to the amount that can be exchanged.

The Importance of Coins and Fungibility

Bank Indonesia also took the opportunity to remind the public of the importance of using coins, which are legal tender just like banknotes. Coins help to reduce the burden on banknotes, increase transaction efficiency, and maintain the fungibility of money – the quality of being interchangeable and divisible without losing value.

Conclusion

The spreading video has highlighted the importance of understanding the regulations surrounding currency notes and their exchange. Both old and new banknotes remain legal tender, and citizens can exchange their old notes at banks or Bank Indonesia offices without any hassle. The key takeaway is that while banks can refuse old notes in poor condition, they must still accept new notes and coins. Bank Indonesia encourages the public to use a mix of banknotes and coins to maintain the smooth flow of money in the country’s economy.
