Abstract
This research analyzes the challenges of intellectual property law enforcement (IPR) in Indonesia and its correlation to the achievement of economic justice. Using the normative legal research method, this study examines applicable legal norms through a case and statutory approach. Data was collected through a literature study, including laws and regulations such as the Copyright, Trademark, and Patent Laws, as well as court decisions and legal literature. The results show that although Indonesia has an adequate legal framework, implementation on the ground is still not effective. The main challenges stem from the lack of capacity of law enforcement officials, weak coordination between agencies, and low public awareness of the importance of IPR. These conditions create a culture of permissiveness towards infringement, especially in the digital realm, which has a direct impact on economic injustice. IPR infringement creates inequality in the distribution of economic benefits, harms legitimate creators and businesses, and inhibits innovation. Therefore, this study concludes that there is a strong correlation between the effectiveness of IPR law enforcement and the realization of a fair, inclusive, and sustainable economic system
