Advancing Intellectual Property Rights through Digital Knowledge Collaboration Model: A Soft Systems Methodology Approach

Intellectual Property Rights are fundamental to drive technological progress and economic growth. However, based on the 2022 Global Innovation Index (GII), Indonesia experienced a decline in the patent innovation output index by 58%. which indicates problems in the utilization and management of IPR. Universities as knowledge generators are essential in increasing patents in Indonesia but have yet to be fully optimized. This study aims to develop a digital knowledge collaboration platform model. This study produces a digital knowledge collaboration model using the Soft Systems Methodology (SSM) approach. This study produces four main features of the digital knowledge collaboration model: Knowledge Sharing, Collaborative Research, Intellectual Property Management, and Legal and Regulatory Support. The main contribution of this study is to produce a conceptual model of digital knowledge collaboration and use case diagrams that universities can use as the primary foundation in developing a digital knowledge collaboration platform that lecturers, external partners, and the government can utilize.
