The objective of this paper is to analyze non-fungible token (NFT) games under Copyright Law No. 28 of 2014 and explore measures to prevent third-party copyright infringements. The research follows a normative legal methodology, utilizing both a conceptual and statutory approach. Legal materials are gathered through document studies. The analysis conducted is qualitative in nature. This study concludes that NFT games are protected by copyright as they qualify as intellectual property under Indonesian law. Copyright protection is granted automatically upon the creation of the game, meaning no formal registration is required for copyright to take effect. However, to ensure stronger legal certainty, business entities and copyright holders are encouraged to register their NFT games. This registration provides an official record and reinforces the protection of their intellectual property rights. In addition, the paper discusses preventive measures that copyright holders can take to safeguard their rights. For instance, they can monitor for unauthorized use of their NFT games in commercial activities. If individuals or organizations exploit the copyrighted material without permission, the copyright holders can report the infringement to the relevant ministry. This approach ensures that copyright holders can enforce their rights and protect their creations from misuse. In summary, the study emphasizes the importance of copyright registration and vigilance in preventing infringement, while highlighting the automatic protection NFT games enjoy under Indonesian law.
