Abstract
According to Article 3 of Act Number 15 of 2001 on Trademark, the exclusive nature of trademark rights legalizes monopoly. Based on this exclusivity, the right holders of trademarks can decide when and where they can first introduce a trademarked product to the market. This right is known as a distribution right. Once marketed however, the right holder cannot prevent their trademarked product being imported outside of the initial chosen market (exhaustion of rights).
Menurut Pasal 3 UU Nomor 15 Tahun 2001 tentang Merek, bahwa hak atas merek bersifat khusus. Hak tersebut bersifat monopoli. Berdasarkan hak eksklusifnya, pemegang hak merek dapat memutuskan kapan dan dimana dia akan meletakkan produk yang terkait dengan kreasi intelektualnya di pasaran untuk pertama kalinya. Hal itu dinamakan hak distribusi. Manakala telah diputuskan pemasarannya, maka yang bersangkutan tidak dapat mencegah produk kreasi intelektualnya itu diimpor diluar wilayah pemasaran yang telah dipilihnya pertama kali (exhaustion right).
