Methods of the Research: The research method used is juridical empirical. Results of the Research: The results obtained are the implementation of the protection provided by the copyright law on the ownership of a traditional knowledge which in this case is the processing of enbal traditionally done as a staple food in the Kei Islands community has actually been regulated in Article 38 of the Copyright Act.
