What are HKI and Halal License?

Intellectual Property Rights (IPR)/Hak Kekayaan Intelektual (HKI) are legal rights granted to creators or owners that allow them to control the use and distribution of their intellectual works or innovations. IPR provides legal protection against unauthorized use or reproduction, and provides incentives for creators or owners to continue creating and innovating. Some forms of IPR include Copyright, Patents, Trademarks, Industrial Designs, Trade Secrets, and so on.

Halal License, on the other hand, is a permit or certification issued by a recognized authority or institution to affirm that a product meets halal standards and requirements. This license indicates that the product is produced and processed in accordance with the halal principles in Islam.
